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' indicates an anagram.
'to stop' is an insertion indicator (stop can mean to plug a hole in something).
'bonkers' becomes 'nuts' (synonyms).
'sid' with letters rearranged gives 'dis'.
'dis' inserted within '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?" .)
