Stink over splits about Queen watchers (9)
I believe the answer is:
observers
'queen watchers' 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?
'stink over splits' is the wordplay.
'stink' becomes 'BO' (body odour).
'over' says the letters should be written backwards.
'splits' becomes 'servers' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'bo' reversed gives 'ob'.
'ob'+'servers'='OBSERVERS'
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for observers that I've seen before include "They monitor" , "commentators" , "Onlookers" , "Those seeing" .)
