Universities accepting students content to play around is not normal (7)
I believe the answer is:
unusual
'universities accepting students content to play around' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'not normal' is the wordplay.
'not' becomes 'un' (I've seen this in other clues).
'normal' becomes 'usual' (I've seen this before).
'un'+'usual'='UNUSUAL'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unusual that I've seen before include "Not habitually or commonly occurring" , "That's odd" , "'Uncommon, rare (7)'" , "Not commonly encountered" , "Not commor or ordinary" .)
