Exercises for a scribe working around Oxford (8)
I believe the answer is:
aerobics
'exercises' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a scribe working around oxford' is the wordplay.
'working' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'oxford' becomes 'o' (this could be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'scribe' is an anagram of 'erbics'.
'erbics' placed around 'o' is 'erobics'.
'a'+'erobics'='AEROBICS'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aerobics that I've seen before include "Fitness system" , "Exercise that increases the need for oxygen" , "Forms of exercise" , "Exercise in the gym" , "Form of exercises" .)
