Vehicles of love-laden, excited escorts (8)
I believe the answer is:
scooters
'vehicles' is the definition.
(scooter is a kind of vehicle)
'love-laden excited escorts' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'love' could be 'o' (love means zero in tennis) and 'o' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'escorts' is 'scoters' which is within the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scooters that I've seen before include "Black diving ducks and two-wheelers" , "Child's two-wheeled vehicles" , "Diving ducks and two-wheeled vehicles" , "Children's wheeled vehicles" , "Do ducks ride two-wheeled vehicles?" .)
