Tradies forming combines without hesitation (7)
I believe the answer is:
joiners
'tradies forming combines without' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'hesitation' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'hesitation' could be 'er' (sound made while hesitating - um, er) and 'er' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'joins' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for joiners that I've seen before include "Carpenters" , "likely to become union members?" .)
