Read on with lecturer (3)
I believe the answer is:
don
'lecturer' is the definition.
(don can mean an academic)
'read on' is the wordplay.
'DON' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for don that I've seen before include "Flower" , "Spanish male title" , "A mafia chief or Spanish grandee" , "Slip into" , "- - Giovanni, 26" .)
