Shoppers finally pay the driver aboard coach (6)
I believe the answer is:
buyers
'shoppers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'finally pay the driver aboard coach' is the wordplay.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'aboard' is an insertion indicator.
'coach' becomes 'bus' (synonyms).
The last letters of 'pay the driver' are 'yer'.
'yer' placed inside 'bus' is 'BUYERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for buyers that I've seen before include "We purchase" , "These are advised to beware, being emptors" , "Purchasers" .)
