Twisting origin - vital for supervisor (11)
I believe the answer is:
invigilator
'for supervisor' is the definition.
(invigilator is a kind of supervisor)
'twisting origin vital' is the wordplay.
'twisting' is an anagram indicator.
'origin'+'vital'='originvital'
'originvital' anagrammed gives 'INVIGILATOR'.
(Another definition for invigilator that I've seen is " Supervisor".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
