Blooming female learner seen before test (6)
I believe the answer is:
floral
'blooming' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'female learner seen before test' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'learner' becomes 'l'.
'seen before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'test' becomes 'oral' (oral is a type of examination).
'f'+'l'+'oral'='FLORAL'
(Other definitions for floral that I've seen before include "All for (anag)" , "annuals?" , "Pertaining to blossoms" , "To do with flowers, flowery" , "Of flowers, like wreath" .)
