Sid about to stop bonkers folk who seek exposure? (7)
I believe the answer is:
nudists
'folk who seek exposure?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and 'folk' are nouns, they are not in the same form of the noun.
'sid about to stop bonkers' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'to stop' is an insertion indicator (stopping can mean blocking a gap).
'bonkers' becomes 'nuts' (synonyms).
'sid' anagrammed gives 'dis'.
'dis' going into 'nuts' is 'NUDISTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nudists that I've seen before include "They're exposed" , "they're not in gear" , "exposed people" , "they reveal all" , "Strippers?" .)
