Found every second in school is absorbed by one (8)
I believe the answer is:
colonise
'found every second in school is absorbed by one' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'every second in school is absorbed by one' is the wordplay.
'every second in' indicates alternate letters (every second letter is used).
'absorbed by' is an insertion indicator.
The alternating letters of 'school' are 'col'.
'is' inserted into 'one' is 'onise'.
'col'+'onise'='COLONISE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for colonise that I've seen before include "Form a settlement in a foreign country" , "Establish a state in conquered territory" , "Populate, settle" .)
