Staff, most of them being around years (6)
I believe the answer is:
thyrse
This clue could be a double definition.
'staff' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'most of them being around years' is the second definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for thyrse that I've seen is " staff associated with drinking?".)
I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
