Proud people keep them up (11)
I believe the answer is:
appearances
'proud people' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for appearances that I've seen is " Arrivals; impressions".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
