You might be asked to come up and see these electronic items around college (8)
I believe the answer is:
etchings
'you might be asked to come up and' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'these electronic items around college' is the wordplay.
'these electronic' becomes 'e' (as in e-mail or e-books).
'items' becomes 'things' (I've seen this before).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'college' becomes 'c'.
'things' placed around 'c' is 'tchings'.
'e'+'tchings'='ETCHINGS'
'see' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for etchings that I've seen before include "Engravings" , "Art prints" , "works of art" , "Artwork" , "Impressive marks obtained" .)
