Crossword Genius

Skip start of funny visual (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ocular

'visual' is the definition.
('ocular' can be a synonym of 'visual')

'skip start of funny' is the wordplay.
'skip start of' means to remove the first letter.
'funny' becomes 'jocular' (I've seen this before).
'jocular' with its first letter taken away is 'OCULAR'.

(Other definitions for ocular that I've seen before include "connected with 23 [SIGHT]" , "Of the eyes, visual" , "Eyepiece" , "not to be seen - due to this trouble?" , "Connected with vision (med.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
