In this instance it is not defined as it is a thematic answer. Wardens are Pears

Not all crossword clues have a separate definition.
War(hostilities) + dens(hideouts)
Both words in the clue are defined in the answer.

I think this clue is a bit iffy. The answer "wardens" should be defined either at the beginning or the ending of the clue. There are cryptic clues with no definition but it is usually two words which means the same i.e. Throw food (5) CHUCK.

In this instance it is not defined as it is a thematic answer.

Wardens are Pears

A crossword that has caused some head scratching for sure.

Thanks Mamyalynne.
I thought it might be thematic ... but wardens (pears) ... it's nearly as bad as kia ora.
