Outstanding types in sample served up by modest Bedouins (5)
I believe the answer is:
debts
'outstanding types' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'sample served up by modest bedouins' is the wordplay.
'served up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'sample' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen this in other clues).
'stbed' is hidden in the letters of 'by modest bedouins'.
'stbed' reversed gives 'DEBTS'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for debts that I've seen before include "Liabilities" , "They're owed" , "Monies owed" , "Outstanding sums" , "Moneys owed" .)
