They may darn well see stars out to save millions (9)
I believe the answer is:
seamsters
'they may darn well' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'see stars out to save millions' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'to save' indicates putting letters inside.
'millions' becomes 'm' (abbreviation for millions).
'see'+'stars'='seestars'
'seestars' with letters rearranged gives 'seasters'.
'seasters' placed around 'm' is 'SEAMSTERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
