What the expert can figure always to be (6)
I believe the answer is:
clever
'what the expert can figure' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'always to be' is the wordplay.
'always' becomes 'ever' (synonyms).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'be' becomes 'cl' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ever' put after 'cl' is 'CLEVER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clever that I've seen before include "Box ---, outwit someone" , "Smart or quick at learning" , "Quick at learning, talented" , "Quick at learning and understanding" , "Mentally or physically skilful" .)
