Dock with idiot blocking surfer’s view? (7)
I believe the answer is:
monitor
'surfer's view?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'dock with idiot blocking' is the wordplay.
'dock with' becomes 'moor' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'idiot' becomes 'nit' (nit can mean a stupid person).
'blocking' indicates putting letters inside (to block can mean to plug a gap in something).
'moor' going around 'nit' is 'MONITOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for monitor that I've seen before include "Prefect; a loudspeaker" , "Watch - lizard - warship - VDU" , "Keep an eye on" , "A television or computer screen" , "Keep track of" .)
