Disturbance at university over fellow introducing a girl (8)
I believe the answer is:
upheaval
'disturbance' is the definition.
(I know that upheaval is a type of disturbance)
'at university over fellow introducing a girl' is the wordplay.
'at university' becomes 'up' (to 'come up' is to arrive for term, e.g. at Oxford).
'over fellow' becomes 'he' ('he' refers to a man. I am not sure about the 'over' bit.).
'introducing' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters go before others).
'girl' becomes 'Val' (short for Valerie).
'up'+'he'+'a'+'val'='UPHEAVAL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for upheaval that I've seen before include "Great disturbance and disorder" , "Disturbance or turmoil" , "At university, books are taken in to cure" , "A pH value? (anag)" , "Disruptive disturbance" .)
