Model made by Jaguar with dome on top (9)
I believe the answer is:
archetype
'model' is the definition.
(I know that archetype is a type of archetype)
'jaguar with dome on top' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'top' could be 'arch' (e.g. in arch-enemy) and 'arch' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'made by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for archetype that I've seen before include "Original pattern or model" , "Perfect example" , "Creepy hat (anag)" , "Very typical example" , "Model - perfect specimen" .)
