Articles dismissing lice studied by those in university (4)
I believe the answer is:
arts
'studied by those in university' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'articles dismissing lice' is the wordplay.
'dismissing' is a deletion indicator.
'articles' with 'lice' taken out is 'ARTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arts that I've seen before include "Non-science subjects" , "Products of human creativity" , "Star over aesthetic endeavours" , "Wiles, skills" , "Aesthetic creations for a star" .)
