Ross

I believe the answer is:

queue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'waiters in' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'line?' is the second definition.
(queue is a kind of line)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for queue that I've seen before include "Waiting list" , "Buyers' line" , "Stand in line" , "Line of waiters" , "orderly people?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
