Rascals given temporary accommodation on board (6)
I believe the answer is:
scamps
'rascals' is the definition.
(I know this)
'temporary accommodation on board' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'temporary accommodation' could be 'camp' (people stay in a camp temporarily) and 'camp' is present in the answer.
'on board' could be 'ss' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ss' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'given' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scamps that I've seen before include "Scallywags" , "Lively children" , "Mischevious young children" , "Naughty little rascals" , "Little rascals, mischievous children" .)
