Sycophants left in suspense in Arab country (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
yes-men
'sycophants' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'left in suspense in arab country' is the wordplay.
'left in suspense' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'arab country' becomes 'yemen' (Yemen is a Middle Eastern country).
's' placed within 'yemen' is 'YES-MEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yes-men that I've seen before include "lackeys" , "Toadies" , "Sycophants" .)
