I believe the answer is:
student
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">pupil</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for student that I've seen before include "Learner, pupil" , "University attendee" , "One in higher education" , "Maybe fresher" , "Eg, undergraduate" .)
