New focus for court’s set in order -- they might take the kids? (9)
I believe the answer is:
nurseries
'kids?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'new focus for court's set in order they might take' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'new' could be 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament) and 'n' is present in the answer.
'set' could be 'series' (I've seen this before) and 'series' is present in the answer.
'take' could be 'r' (abbreviation for 'recipe', Latin for 'take') and 'r' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'u' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nurseries that I've seen before include "Plant growers" , "For baby people and baby plants" , "For young chuildren and young plants" , "For young babies and young plants" , "Creches or greenhouses" .)
