Mountainous art form for an academician (6)
I believe the answer is:
ararat
'mountainous art form for an academician' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'art form for an academician' is the wordplay.
'form' is an anagram indicator.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'an academician' becomes 'ara'.
'art' with letters rearranged gives 'rat'.
'rat' after 'ara' is 'ARARAT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ararat that I've seen before include "Turkey's highest mountain" , "Mount on which Noah's ark grounded" , "Biblical mountains" , "OT mount" , "Turkish Mount said to contain Noah's Ark" .)
