A lecturer is a lovely bloke (6)
I believe the answer is:
adonis
'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" .)
