See tradesmen for talks (8)
I believe the answer is:
chatters
'talks' is the definition.
(chatter is a kind of talk)
'see tradesmen' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'see' could be 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers) and 'c' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hatters' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chatters that I've seen before include "Blabbers" , "Talks idly" .)
