US backed very strange view (6)
I believe the answer is:
survey
'view' is the definition.
(I know that view can be written as survey)
'us backed very strange' is the wordplay.
'backed' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'strange' is an anagram indicator.
'us' in reverse letter order is 'su'.
'very' with letters rearranged gives 'rvey'.
'su'+'rvey'='SURVEY'
(Other definitions for survey that I've seen before include "formal inspection" , "Report (on building for sale)" , "Report (on a house)" , "Critical inspection or descriptive summary" , "Carefully examine" .)
