Unorthodox logician, sort who may examine skulls? (12)
I believe the answer is:
craniologist
'may examine skulls?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'unorthodox logician sort' is the wordplay.
'unorthodox' indicates an anagram.
'logician'+'sort'='logiciansort'
'logiciansort' with letters rearranged gives 'CRANIOLOGIST'.
'who' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for craniologist that I've seen is " Original cost (anag) - head examiner".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
