Experts favoured our group to receive first of college course lists (10)
I believe the answer is:
prospectus
'course lists' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'experts favoured our group to receive first of college' is the wordplay.
'experts' becomes 'pros' (professionals).
'favoured' becomes 'pet' (as in a pet project).
'our group' becomes 'us'.
'to receive' is an insertion indicator.
'first of college' becomes 'c' (1st letter of 'college').
'pet'+'us'='petus'
'petus' enclosing 'c' is 'pectus'.
'pros'+'pectus'='PROSPECTUS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prospectus that I've seen before include "Booklet of what's on offer" , "Outline plan for approval" , "Promotional booklet" , "Brochure giving details of college courses etc" , "University entering opportunities for success in brochure" .)
