Don't our doctors seem bombastic! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orotund

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bombastic' is the definition.
(I know that bombastic can be written as orotund)

'don't our doctors' is the wordplay.
'doctors' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'doctor' mean this).
'dont'+'our'='dontour'
'dontour' is an anagram of 'OROTUND'.

'seem' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orotund that I've seen before include "Sonorous; pompous" , "Full in sound" , "Full, round" , "Not dour (anag.)" , "Resonant" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
