Nervous, as might be social workers? (5)
I believe the answer is:
antsy
'nervous' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'might be social workers?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'workers?' could be 'ants' (I've seen this before) and 'ants' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'y' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for antsy that I've seen before include "nervous" , "Eager" , "excited?" .)
