Give some instruction to the attendants (5)
I believe the answer is:
train
'attendants' is the definition.
(train can mean attendants following a royal)
'give some instruction to the' is the wordplay.
'give' becomes 'ra' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'some' says to take the centre.
'instruction' becomes 'training' (I've seen this before).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
The middle letters of 'training' are 'in'.
'ra'+'in'='rain'
'rain' after 't' is 'TRAIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for train that I've seen before include "Teach; followers" , "Flying Scotsman, e.g." , "Locomotive plus carriages" , "Teach (someone) a skill" , "tutor" .)
