Views reality shows primarily encapsulating English (6)
I believe the answer is:
facets
'views' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'reality shows primarily encapsulating english' is the wordplay.
'reality' becomes 'fact' (fact is a kind of reality).
'primarily' says to take the initial letters.
'encapsulating' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are absorbed or encapsulated).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
The first letter of 'shows' is 's'.
'fact'+'s'='facts'
'facts' enclosing 'e' is 'FACETS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for facets that I've seen before include "Sides or aspects, diamonds or buildings" , "Surfaces or aspects" , "Surfaces of a cut gem" , "Sides or surfaces" , "Faces of cut gemstones" .)
