Seldom sees artist going towards bank (6)
I believe the answer is:
rarely
'seldom' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'artist going towards bank' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'going towards' says to put letters next to each other.
'bank' becomes 'rely' (I've seen this before).
'ra'+'rely'='RARELY'
'sees' is the link.
(Other definitions for rarely that I've seen before include "Hardly ever, most infrequently" , "very well" , "Not very often, seldom in fact" , "Gas used in fluorescent signs" , "Very occasionally" .)
