Stun people who are inside entertaining clubs with cruciverbalists (7)
I believe the answer is:
concuss
'stun' 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 concuss that I've seen before include "Stun with heavy blow" , "Knock it on the head!" , "Cause a brain injury" , "Completely stun" , "Inflict (temporary) damage on the brain" .)
