It may be regarded as a form of curiosity (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
odd shape
'it may be regarded as a' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'form of curiosity' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'form' could be 'shape' (synonyms) and 'shape' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
