Large vehicles sought by film stars (6)
I believe the answer is:
oscars
'sought by film stars' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'large vehicles' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'os' (abbreviation for oversize).
'vehicles' becomes 'cars' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'os'+'cars'='OSCARS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oscars that I've seen before include "American Academy Awards" , "Awards, for dramatic achievements" , "Cinema's Academy Awards" , "Hollywood annual film awards" , "American film Awards" .)
