Soldier guarding the young of the family for a time for those in show business locally (10)
I believe the answer is:
glitterati
'those in show business locally' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'soldier guarding the young of the family for a time' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'gi' (government issue or general issue).
'guarding' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the young of the family for' becomes 'litter' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'time' becomes 't'.
'litter'+'a'+'t'='litterat'
'gi' going around 'litterat' is 'GLITTERATI'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glitterati that I've seen before include "Glamorous, rich and famous people?" , "Celebrities" , "Rich, beautiful and fashionable celebs" , "Fashionable people" , "Showbiz types" .)
