Securities one may think edgily about? (5)
I believe the answer is:
gilts
'securities' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gilts that I've seen before include "Government fixed-interest securities -- young sows" , "Reliable stocks" , "UK government fixed-interest loan securities" .)
