Somehow entraps guardians (7)
I believe the answer is:
parents
'guardians' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'somehow entraps' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'entraps' is an anagram of 'PARENTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parents that I've seen before include "Mother and father" , "Entraps (anag.)" , "Mum and dad" , "Mothers and fathers" .)
