Unanimity of statisticians taking part in survey (9)
I believe the answer is:
consensus
'unanimity' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'statisticians taking part in survey' is the wordplay.
'statisticians' becomes 'ons' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'taking part in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'survey' becomes 'census' (I've seen this before).
'ons' placed within 'census' is 'CONSENSUS'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for consensus that I've seen before include "Unanimity" , "agreed" , "General agreement" , "Majority view" , "General opinion" .)
