Schoolchildren getting on when living in? (8)
I believe the answer is:
boarders
'schoolchildren' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for boarders that I've seen before include "Resident pupils in school" , "ones who get on" , "Live-in school students" , "group of schoolchildren?" , "Students staying at school" .)
