OST is german for east if that helps any

jan

This is a dreadful clue (I believe)!
Definition = extreme = OUTERMOST
East German = OST which follows OU TERM (Hilary is an Oxford University term).
Although Chambers gives Oxford Uni for OU, it's generally accepted that it's Open University.

[sgeandhu]

however, to be fair OUpress is generally accepted as Oford Uni?

[sgeandhu]

or even oXford uni!!

Thank you all for the help.Your breakdown of the clue was brilliant quizmonkey.still stuck on 3 down.one who 's become addicted to pot?t-e-c.cannot find anything to fit.tony keates posted the same problem with the same letters.

Patsyann, ".. addicted to pot" could be THEIC. The "pot" it relates to could be a teapot.
