Team from ACT starts redirecting charity to emergency rooms (7)
I believe the answer is:
raiders
'team from act starts redirecting charity to emergency rooms' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'starts redirecting charity to emergency rooms' is the wordplay.
'starts' suggests taking the first letters.
'charity' becomes 'aid' (eg foreign aid).
'to emergency rooms' becomes 'ERs'.
The initial letter of 'redirecting' is 'r'.
'r'+'aid'+'ers'='RAIDERS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for raiders that I've seen before include "Marauders" , "' - - of the Lost Ark'" , "Marauding attackers" , "Attacking force" .)
