Supporters outside hotel with financial inducements (11)
I believe the answer is:
backhanders
'financial inducements' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'supporters outside hotel with' is the wordplay.
'supporters' becomes 'backers' (backer is a kind of supporter).
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go outside others).
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'with' becomes 'and'.
'h'+'and'='hand'
'backers' going around 'hand' is 'BACKHANDERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for backhanders that I've seen is " Bribes".)
