People-eaters (9)
I believe the answer is:
cannibals
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">people</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(cannibal is a kind of person)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">eaters</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I have seen 'Eaters of humans ' mean 'cannibals' so perhaps 'eaters' could also mean 'cannibals')</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for cannibals that I've seen before include "People who eat people" , "Eaters of humans" , "Human flesh eaters" , "Animals that eat their own kind" .)
