A bit tricky. SC is short for Scilicet, meaning namely, or that is. Then remove TO from IMITA(TO)R, Impressionist, to leave SC-IMITAR

Thanks: I don’t think I’d have worked that one out. I was looking for ie as that is.

Sc is usually clued as namely, so it’s not very common. I don’t blame you for not looking further than that!
