Suggestion read out for people waiting (5)
I believe the answer is:
queue
'people waiting' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'suggestion read out' is the wordplay.
'suggestion' becomes 'cue' (I've seen this in other clues).
'read out' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'cue' is a homophone of 'QUEUE'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for queue that I've seen before include "Stand in line" , "Row of waiting people" , "Pigtail; column" , "Line of people; pigtail" , "Wait in line" .)
