A lecturer is a lovely bloke (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adonis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a lovely bloke' is the definition.
'adonis' can be an answer for 'bloke' (I have seen 'Fit bloke' mean 'adonis' so perhaps 'bloke' could also mean 'adonis'). I am not certain of the 'a lovely' bit.

'a lecturer is' is the wordplay.
'lecturer' becomes 'don' (don can mean an academic).
'a'+'don'+'is'='ADONIS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adonis that I've seen before include "Extremely attractive young man from Greek mythology" , "A very handsome ancient Greek" , "Aphrodite's beloved" , "Extremely handsome young man" , "Beautiful young man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
