French dog accepts prime bits from older kids (8)
I believe the answer is:
children
'kids' is the definition.
('child' can be a synonym of 'kid')
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for children that I've seen before include "Young folk" , "Little people" , "Kids" , "Issue" , "Sons and daughters" .)
