Monitors from East End schools in conversation (4)
I believe the answer is:
eyes
'conversation' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'monitors from east end schools in' is the wordplay.
'monitors from east' becomes 'ye' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'end' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (I've seen 'ends of' mean this).
'schools' becomes 'edifies' (I've seen this before).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'edifies' with its middle taken out is 'es'.
'ye' put inside 'es' is 'EYES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eyes that I've seen before include "Spots on a peacock's tail" , "Peacock's tail markings" , "Are they made to suggest possible date" , "Narrowly watches" , "Peepers" .)
