Players taking a long time dressing? (8)
I believe the answer is:
bandages
'players taking a long time dressing?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'players taking a long time' is the wordplay.
'players' becomes 'band' (I've seen this before).
'taking' says to put letters next to each other.
'a long time' becomes 'ages' (I've seen this before).
'band'+'ages'='BANDAGES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bandages that I've seen before include "forms of protection after accident" , "first-aid items" , "Wrappings for wounds" , "Wound wrappings" .)
