Offering temptation, friend embraces university lecturer bearing sign of being married (10)
I believe the answer is:
alluringly
'offering temptation friend embraces university lecturer bearing sign of being married' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'friend embraces university lecturer bearing sign of being married' is the wordplay.
'friend' becomes 'ally' (synonyms).
'embraces' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'university lecturer' becomes 'ul' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'bearing' is an insertion indicator.
'sign of being married' becomes 'ring' (as in a wedding ring).
'ul' placed around 'ring' is 'uringl'.
'ally' placed around 'uringl' is 'ALLURINGLY'.
