Burn-out's regularly struck university friend, remarkably (9)
I believe the answer is:
unusually
'remarkably' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'burn-out's regularly struck university friend' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'struck university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university. I am not sure about the 'struck' bit.).
'friend' becomes 'ally' (synonyms).
'burn'+'outs'='burnouts'
The alternating letters of 'burnouts' are 'unus'.
'unus'+'u'+'ally'='UNUSUALLY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unusually that I've seen before include "Oddly" , "Rarely" , "Not in the ordinary way" , "Remarkably, uncommonly" , "Remarkably, not normally" .)
