One caught intercepting award for examination (7)
I believe the answer is:
medical
'examination' is the definition.
(medical examination is a kind of examination)
'one caught intercepting award' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'intercepting' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'award' becomes 'medal' (medal is a kind of award**).
'i'+'c'='ic'
'ic' going inside 'medal' is 'MEDICAL'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for medical that I've seen before include "Of the science dealing with treatment of disease" , "Relating to treatment rather than surgery" , "Claimed (anag.)" , "Of the healing sciences" , "Relating to doctoring" .)
