Scholar of French in a spectacular trick (7)
I believe the answer is:
student
'scholar' is the definition.
(I know that scholar can be written as student)
'of french in a spectacular trick' is the wordplay.
'of french' becomes 'de' ('of' in French).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'a spectacular trick' becomes 'stunt' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'spectacular' bit.).
'de' going inside 'stunt' is 'STUDENT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for student that I've seen before include "Scholar" , "One in higher education" , "Maybe fresher" , "University attendee" , "One at university" .)
