Does view oddly cut off blossom? (7)
I believe the answer is:
develop
'blossom?' is the definition.
(blossoming is a kind of developing)
'does view oddly cut off' is the wordplay.
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters.
'cut off' becomes 'lop' (I've seen this before).
'does'+'view'='doesview'
The alternating letters of 'doesview' are 'deve'.
'deve'+'lop'='DEVELOP'
(Other definitions for develop that I've seen before include "Bring to maturity" , "Unfold" , "photographers may do it" , "issue" , "Become more advanced" .)
