Pamper a group of senior officers? (6)
I believe the answer is:
cosset
'pamper' is the definition.
(I know that pamper can be written as cosset)
'a group of senior officers?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'group' could be 'set' (both can mean a collection) and 'set' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cosset that I've seen before include "Treat overindulgently" , "pet" , "Feather-bed" , "Treat indulgently, pamper" , "Pamper and spoil" .)
