People who give up stocking new bloomers (8)
I believe the answer is:
knickers
'bloomers' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'people who give up stocking new' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'new' could be 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament) and 'n' is found within the answer.
'people' could be 'kickers' (kicker is a kind of person) and 'kickers' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knickers that I've seen before include "Risk neck (anag.)" , "Underwear - oh dear!" , "Drat!" , "Undergarments for women" , "Panties" .)
