Captain I call in doctor, being strictly objective (8)
I believe the answer is:
clinical
'strictly objective' is the definition.
'clinical' can be an answer for 'objective' (similar in meaning). I am not certain of the 'strictly' bit.
'captain i call in doctor' is the wordplay.
'captain' becomes 'c' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'call'+'in'='icallin'
'icallin' anagrammed gives 'linical'.
'c'+'linical'='CLINICAL'
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clinical that I've seen before include "Dispassionate" , "Hospital-like - strictly objective" , "Coldly detached" , "cold?" , "Based on observed signs or symptoms" .)
