Emphasis shifts — about time — for fellow-craftsmen? (9)
I believe the answer is:
shipmates
'fellow-craftsmen?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'emphasis shifts about time' is the wordplay.
'shifts' indicates an anagram.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'emphasis' is an anagram of 'shipmaes'.
'shipmaes' enclosing 't' is 'SHIPMATES'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shipmates that I've seen before include "companions on board" , "colleagues on board" .)
