Crossword Genius

Part of the eye learner (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pupil

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'part of the eye' is the first definition.
('pupil' is part of 'eye')

'learner' is the second definition.
(pupil is a kind of learner)

(Other definitions for pupil that I've seen before include "Eye's centre" , "Scholar" , "part of my anatomy" , "Eye hole" , "One being taught" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
