Big wave concerning small cutters (8)
I believe the answer is:
surgeons
'cutters' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'big wave concerning small' is the wordplay.
'big wave' becomes 'surge' (surge is a kind of wave. I am not sure about the 'big' bit.).
'concerning' becomes 'on' (both can mean 'in relation to').
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'surge'+'on'+'s'='SURGEONS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for surgeons that I've seen is " Medical operators".)
