Directions given on stop as departing bus is seen? (7)
I believe the answer is:
endways
'departing bus is seen?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'directions given on stop' is the wordplay.
'directions' becomes 'ways' (I've seen this in another clue).
'given' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'on stop' becomes 'end' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
'ways' after 'end' is 'ENDWAYS'.
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for endways that I've seen before include "Lengthwise" , "Not sideways/lengthways" , "Turned up" , "as a departing bus is seen" , "Not side on" .)
