Ponder case of amateurish teacher in madrassa (6)
I believe the answer is:
mullah
'teacher in madrassa' is the definition.
'mullah' can be an answer for 'teacher' (I have seen 'Muslim teacher ' mean 'mullah' so perhaps 'teacher' could also mean 'mullah'). I'm not certain of the 'in madrassa' bit.
'ponder case of amateurish' is the wordplay.
'ponder' becomes 'mull' (synonyms).
'case of' suggests removing the centre (outsides of).
'amateurish' with its centre removed is 'ah'.
'mull'+'ah'='MULLAH'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mullah that I've seen before include "Head of a mosque" , "Muslim learned in theology and sacred law" , "preacher" , "Muslim religious leader" , "Islamic scholar" .)
