Schubert composition for sellers of meat (8)
I believe the answer is:
butchers
'sellers of meat' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'schubert composition' is the wordplay.
'composition' is an anagram indicator (letters arranged or composed in a different order).
'schubert' anagrammed gives 'BUTCHERS'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for butchers that I've seen before include "Look (slang) - Smithfield Market workers" , "They prepare and/or sell meat" , "Meat shop (look!)" , "Animal killers in Schubert composition" , "Meat-workers" .)
