College in university ranks visionary specialists? (8)
I believe the answer is:
oculists
'specialists?' is the definition.
(oculist is a kind of specialist)
'college in university ranks visionary' is the wordplay.
'college' becomes 'c'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'university' becomes 'ou'.
'ranks visionary' becomes 'lists' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'c' inserted inside 'ou' is 'ocu'.
'ocu'+'lists'='OCULISTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oculists that I've seen before include "Specialists in treatment of eye diseases" , "Specialists in treatment of the eyes" , "Eye defect experts" , "Specialists in care of the eyes" , "Specialist in treatment of eye ailments" .)
