Crossword Genius

Figure soon chaired assembly (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icosahedron

'figure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'soon chaired assembly' is the wordplay.
'assembly' indicates an anagram.
'soon'+'chaired'='soonchaired'
'soonchaired' with letters rearranged gives 'ICOSAHEDRON'.

(Other definitions for icosahedron that I've seen before include "Twenty-faced solid" , "Figure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
