Doctor rests ears as they make positive declarations (9)
I believe the answer is:
asserters
'they make positive declarations' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'doctor rests ears' is the wordplay.
'doctor' is an anagram indicator.
'rests'+'ears'='restsears'
'restsears' with letters rearranged gives 'ASSERTERS'.
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
