Rivals saved solution, concealing right sign (11)
I believe the answer is:
adversaries
'rivals' 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?
'saved solution concealing right sign' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'ar' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ar' is present in the answer.
'sign' could be 'v' (a V-sign a gesture made with two fingers) and 'v' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for adversaries that I've seen is " Enemies".)
