Scarves: fifty Elizabeth squeezed through mangles (8)
I believe the answer is:
mufflers
'scarves' is the definition.
(muffler is a kind of scarf)
'fifty elizabeth squeezed through mangles' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'fifty' could be 'l' (Roman numeral) and 'l' is found in the answer.
'elizabeth' could be 'er' and 'er' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'muffs' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mufflers that I've seen before include "Scarves or silencers" , "They keep one warm - or quiet?" , "those protecting deep throat?" , "Scarfs or car silencers" , "They suppress reports in the US" .)
