Drop off university student intercepting a don, surprisingly (6)
I believe the answer is:
unload
'drop off' is the definition.
(I know that drop off can be written as unload)
'university student intercepting a don surprisingly' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'student' becomes 'L' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'intercepting' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'surprisingly' indicates anagramming the letters (a surprising ordering of the letters).
'a'+'don'='adon'
'adon' with letters rearranged gives 'noad'.
'l' going inside 'noad' is 'nload'.
'u'+'nload'='UNLOAD'
(Other definitions for unload that I've seen before include "Take cargo off (a ship)" , "Remove (a gun's ammo)" , "Take goods from (ship)" , "Remove cargo from ship or goods from lorry" , "Discharge cargo" .)
