Having extraordinary perception, possibly I elect to maintain course (10)
I believe the answer is:
telepathic
'having extraordinary perception' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'possibly i elect to maintain course' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'to maintain' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are controlled or maintained).
'course' becomes 'path' (path can mean a route or course).
'i'+'elect'='ielect'
'ielect' anagrammed gives 'teleic'.
'teleic' enclosing 'path' is 'TELEPATHIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for telepathic that I've seen before include "Able to read the minds of others?" , "Clairvoyant" , "Capable of thought transference" , "Extraordinarily communicative" , "Able to pick up ideas" .)
