Unusual spectacles perhaps cut round outside of the ear (7)
I believe the answer is:
exotica
'unusual spectacles' is the definition.
The definition suggests a plural noun which matches the answer.
'cut round outside of the ear' is the wordplay.
'cut' becomes 'axe' (both can mean to cancel or remove).
'round' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'outside of' indicates putting letters inside.
'the ear' becomes 'otic' (I've seen this before).
'axe' in reverse letter order is 'exa'.
'exa' going around 'otic' is 'EXOTICA'.
'perhaps' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for exotica that I've seen before include "curious collection" , "Outlandish objects, especially in a collection" , "Foreign or unfamiliar things" , "Strange stuff" , "Interesting and strange objects" .)
