Views supple student in pirouette (6)
I believe the answer is:
swivel
'pirouette' is the definition.
(I know that pirouette is a kind of swivel)
'views supple student' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'views' is 'swive' which is within the answer.
'student' could be 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers) and 'l' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swivel that I've seen before include "Turn as if on a pivot, like a kind of chair" , "Turn on a chair, say" , "Spin on the spot" , "Rotating coupling" , "Revolve" .)
