Swindles uncovered in the courts (7)
I believe the answer is:
rackets
This clue could be a double definition.
'swindles uncovered in' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'the courts' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rackets that I've seen before include "Those taken to court" , "may be covered in the press" , "Court game" , "Game - noises" , "Stringed bats or loud sessions" .)
