Scholarly Spaniard injured shin (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

donnish

'scholarly' is the definition.
('donnish' can be similar in meaning to 'scholarly')

'spaniard injured shin' is the wordplay.
'spaniard' becomes 'don'.
'injured' indicates anagramming the letters.
'shin' with letters rearranged gives 'nish'.
'don'+'nish'='DONNISH'

(Other definitions for donnish that I've seen before include "Lecturer probably is" , "Like fellow, perhaps" , "Scholarly" , "Like a college teacher" , "Resembling academic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
