"They will cut mentorship in King's," hear student is claiming (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
pinking shears
'they' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'cut mentorship in king's hear student is claiming' is the wordplay.
'is claiming' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'PINKING-SHEARS' can be found hidden inside 'cut mentorship in kings hear student'.
'will' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pinking shears that I've seen before include "Scissors producing a wavy edge" , "Tool used to create a serrated edge" , "Scissors with serrated cutting edges" , "Scissors used to prevent fraying" , "Scissors with a serrated blade" .)
