It gives a view of a duck taking a fancy dive (5)
I believe the answer is:
video
'it gives a view' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'a duck taking a fancy dive' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'duck' could be 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket) and 'o' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'dive' is 'vide' which is within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for video that I've seen before include "Transmitter of televised image" , "Record footage" , "Recorded visual image" , "Visual element of television" , "YouTube media" .)
