Superior view? It is found in a tree (7)
I believe the answer is:
elitism
'superior view?' is the definition.
(view held by someone thinking themselves superior)
'it is found in a tree' is the wordplay.
'found in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a tree' becomes 'elm' (elm is a kind of tree**).
'it'+'is'='itis'
'itis' put into 'elm' is 'ELITISM'.
(Other definitions for elitism that I've seen before include "goverment by chosen group" , "that characterises some snobs?" , "Superior attitude of those in power" , "lapping up the cream" , "Advocacy of select group" .)
