Each of us, it seems, is a truly noted individual (8)
I believe the answer is:
everyone
'is a truly noted individual' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'each of us it' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'every' (synonyms).
'of us' becomes 'on' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'every'+'on'+'e'='EVERYONE'
'seems' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for everyone that I've seen before include "the masses" , "Entire group" , "All the people" , "All without exception" , "All and sundry" .)
