Religious folk understand about eternities (7)
I believe the answer is:
gideons
'religious folk' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'understand about eternities' is the wordplay.
'understand' becomes 'dig' (digging is a kind of understanding).
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'eternities' becomes 'eons' (I've seen this in another clue).
'dig' backwards is 'gid'.
'gid'+'eons'='GIDEONS'
Can you help me to learn more?
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
