Architects shun star making them frantic (6)
I believe the answer is:
hectic
'frantic' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'architects shun star making' is the wordplay.
'shun' suggests deleting specific letters.
'making' is an anagram indicator.
'architects' with 'star' removed is 'chiect'.
'chiect' anagrammed gives 'HECTIC'.
'them' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hectic that I've seen before include "'Rushed, madly busy (6)'" , "Frenetic" , "in a rush" , "Full of frantic activity" , "particularly busy" .)
