Creative compiler and three wise men born here (11)
I believe the answer is:
imaginative
'creative' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'compiler and three wise men born here' is the wordplay.
'compiler' becomes 'I' (the person who is writing these clues).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'three wise men' becomes 'magi' (I've seen this before).
'born here' becomes 'native' (I've seen this in another clue).
'i'+'magi'+'native'='IMAGINATIVE'
(Other definitions for imaginative that I've seen before include "Original" , "Mentally creative" , "far from dull" , "Full of bright ideas" , "Creative, inventive" .)
