Choice of verbose lecturers (6)
I believe the answer is:
select
'choice' is the definition.
(I know that choice can be written as select)
'of verbose lecturers' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SELECT' is hidden in the letters of 'verbose lecturers'.
(Other definitions for select that I've seen before include "Choose from a number of alternatives" , "Exclusive, admitting only certain people" , "Carefully chosen; choose" , "Of superior quality" , "Choose from the elite?" .)
