Semester at Yale for Victoria, say (8)
I believe the answer is:
terminus
'victoria say' is the definition.
(I know that London Victoria station is a dead-end station)
'semester at yale' is the wordplay.
'semester' becomes 'term' (I've seen this in another clue).
'at' becomes 'in' (synonymous in some cases - eg at school, in school).
'yale' becomes 'us' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'term'+'in'+'us'='TERMINUS'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for terminus that I've seen before include "Final stop" , "bust revealed" , "End station" , "End, extremity" , "End of the line, bus or train" .)
