Thoroughly examine page in former traditional learning (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

explore

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'thoroughly examine' is the definition.
'explore' can be an answer for 'examine' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'thoroughly' bit.

'page in former traditional learning' is the wordplay.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'former' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'traditional learning' becomes 'lore' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ex'+'lore'='exlore'
'p' inserted within 'exlore' is 'EXPLORE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for explore that I've seen before include "Evaluate (possibility)" , "Travel through region to learn about it" , "Examine or investigate, maybe possibilities" , "Travel in search of discovery" , "Investigate for the purpose of discovery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
