Snoops into award, say (5)
I believe the answer is:
pries
'snoops' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pries that I've seen before include "Intrusively enquires" , "Is intrusively nosy" , "Snoops" , "Is nosey" .)
