Strange ideals associated with lords (6)
I believe the answer is:
ladies
'lords' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'strange ideals' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates an anagram.
'ideals' is an anagram of 'LADIES'.
'associated with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ladies that I've seen before include "Convenience" , "Women, of refinement perhaps" , "Ideals for gentlewomen" , "9th" , "Lords' wives" .)
