Speak about current surgical speciality position (9)
I believe the answer is:
orientate
'speciality position' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how they can define each other.
'speak about current surgical' is the wordplay.
'speak' becomes 'orate' (orating is a kind of speaking).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'current' becomes 'I' (symbol for electric current).
'surgical' becomes 'ent' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'i'+'ent'='ient'
'orate' enclosing 'ient' is 'ORIENTATE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orientate that I've seen before include "Get bearings, become accustomed to situation" , "Give direction to" , "determine position" , "Fix position" , "Become accustomed to new situation" .)
