Fantasises this is about wise guys following star from point-to-point (8)
I believe the answer is:
imagines
'fantasises' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'about wise guys following star from point-to-point' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is located in the answer.
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found in the answer.
'point' could be 's' (S is an example) and 's' is found within the answer.
'to point' could be 'e' (E is an example) and 'e' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'this is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for imagines that I've seen before include "Forms an idea of" , "Conceives, pictures" , "Conjures up in the mind" , "Supposes" , "Dreams of" .)
