Particular people eyed wrappers in drawers (7)
I believe the answer is:
pedants
'particular people' is the definition.
'pedants' can be an answer for 'people' (pedant is a kind of person). I'm unsure of the 'particular' bit.
'eyed wrappers in drawers' is the wordplay.
'wrappers' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'drawers' becomes 'pants' (synonyms).
'eyed' with its middle taken out is 'ed'.
'ed' going within 'pants' is 'PEDANTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pedants that I've seen before include "More than one lover of accuracy" , "They are over-concerned with correctness of detail" , "Paraders of knowledge" .)
