Compose carol about start of unity of vision (6)
I believe the answer is:
ocular
'vision' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'compose carol about start of unity' is the wordplay.
'compose' indicates an anagram.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'start of' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'unity' is 'u'.
'carol' is an anagram of 'oclar'.
'oclar' going around 'u' is 'OCULAR'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ocular that I've seen before include "Eyepiece" , "Relating to eyes or vision" , "Glaucoma's such" , "Connected with the eyes or vision" , "Of the eyes, visual" .)
