Scholar of French in spectacular trick (7)
I believe the answer is:
student
'scholar' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'of french in spectacular trick' is the wordplay.
'of french' becomes 'de' ('of' in French).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'spectacular trick' becomes 'stunt' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'spectacular' bit.).
'de' put within 'stunt' is 'STUDENT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for student that I've seen before include "Eg, undergraduate" , "collegian" , "Scholar" , "One at university" , "One in higher education" .)
