Examine and analyse ordinary copyright in newspapers (7)
I believe the answer is:
process
'examine and analyse' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'ordinary copyright in newspapers' is the wordplay.
'ordinary' becomes 'O' (abbreviation e.g. O-Levels).
'copyright' becomes 'C' (as in the copyright symbol, a C in a circle).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'newspapers' becomes 'press' (the press is the newspaper industry).
'o'+'c'='oc'
'oc' put inside 'press' is 'PROCESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for process that I've seen before include "Use IT perhaps < to handle" , "that's the course of action" , "Method of operation" , "Advance ceremoniously" , "Series of actions with a single purpose" .)
