The bra’s damaged in the swimsuit (7)
I believe the answer is:
bathers
'swimsuit' is the definition.
(I know that swimsuit can be written as bathers)
'the bra's damaged in' is the wordplay.
'damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'bras' is an anagram of 'bars'.
'the' put into 'bars' is 'BATHERS'.
'the' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
