Ten trusted names produce simplifications (15)
I believe the answer is:
understatements
'simplifications' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'ten trusted names produce' is the wordplay.
'produce' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ten'+'trusted'+'names'='tentrustednames'
'tentrustednames' with letters rearranged gives 'UNDERSTATEMENTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
