Adults went off scholar (3,7)
I believe the answer is:
law student
'scholar' is the definition.
(law student is a kind of scholar)
'adults went off' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'adults'+'went'='adultswent'
'adultswent' anagrammed gives 'LAW STUDENT'.
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
