Crazy men swoon at such monthly events (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
new moons
'such monthly events' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'crazy men swoon' is the wordplay.
'crazy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'men'+'swoon'='menswoon'
'menswoon' is an anagram of 'NEW MOONS'.
'at' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
