Two shorter men someone hurt? (6)
I believe the answer is:
victim
This clue might be a double definition.
'two shorter men someone' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'hurt?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for victim that I've seen before include "Fall guy" , "swindled one" , "Casualty of a crime" , "One suffers from adverse circumstances" , "Injured person; dupe" .)
