Further view accommodating most of historic approach to training? (4-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

role-play

'approach to training?' is the definition.

'further view accommodating most of historic' is the wordplay.
'further view' becomes 'replay'.
'accommodating' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'historic' becomes 'old'.
'old' with its final letter removed is 'ol'.
'replay' going around 'ol' is 'ROLE-PLAY'.

(Other definitions for role-play that I've seen before include "Acting-out of situations" , "pretend to be someone else" , "Pretending to be in an imaginary situation" , "Acting as psychotherapy" , "Participation in acting game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
