Women at home in line for help (6-2-7)
I believe the answer is:
ladies-in-waiting
'women at home in line for help' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'women at home in line for' is the wordplay.
'women' becomes 'ladies' (lady is a kind of woman).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'in line for' becomes 'waiting' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ladies'+'in'+'waiting'='LADIES-IN-WAITING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ladies-in-waiting that I've seen is " Queen's attendants".)
