University close to Pakistan’s south gets student to forget lessons (7)
I believe the answer is:
unlearn
'forget lessons' is the definition.
'unlearn' can be an answer for 'forget' (unlearning is a kind of forgeting). I am unsure of the 'lessons' bit.
'university close to pakistan's south gets student' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'close to' becomes 'near' (I've seen this before).
'pakistan's south' becomes 'n' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gets' indicates putting letters inside (gets can mean captures or absorbs).
'student' becomes 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'near'+'n'='nearn'
'nearn' going around 'l' is 'nlearn'.
'u'+'nlearn'='UNLEARN'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unlearn that I've seen before include "Cease to hold (previous teaching)" , "Deliberately forget" , "Try to forget something" .)
