The minority in safe work? (3)
I believe the answer is:
few
'the minority' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'in safe work?' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'FEW' is hidden in the letters of 'safe work'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for few that I've seen before include "Considerable number, ironically" , "Relatively small number" , "Not many, just a handful" , "Indefinite but small number" , "Indefinite small amount" .)
