Eccentrics damage ceramics (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crackpots

This clue might be a double definition.

'eccentrics' is the first definition.
(crackpot is a kind of eccentric)

'damage ceramics' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
