Men and girl out for troll? (7)
I believe the answer is:
gremlin
'troll?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'men and girl out' is the wordplay.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'men' put after 'girl' is 'girlmen'.
'girlmen' with letters rearranged gives 'GREMLIN'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gremlin that I've seen before include "Imp bedevilling plane" , "Troublemaker (in the machinery?)" , "Mingler (anag.)" , "Fault-causing sprite" , "Fault-inducing sprite" .)
