form

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'class' is the definition.
(I know that class can be written as form)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for form that I've seen before include "Establish" , "Home of a hare" , "Acceptable conduct" , "Shape - document to be filled in" , "Class in a school, or the shape of something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
