Late visitors finally bring presents (6)
I believe the answer is:
ghosts
'late visitors' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'finally bring presents' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'presents' becomes 'hosts' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The last letter of 'bring' is 'g'.
'g'+'hosts'='GHOSTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ghosts that I've seen before include "Writes for another; Ibsen play" , "Apparitions of a dead people" , "Spectres, wraiths" , "Spirits or apparitions" , "Spooks, spectres" .)
