weirdness in clojure map function

How does the following Clojure code work?

(def transpose (partial apply map list))

(println (transpose [[2 6 5] [1 0 9]]))

---

it equal to (map list [2 6 5] [1 0 9]), which in turn means (map #(list %1 %2) [2 6 5] [1 0 9]), the two vectors consumed at the same time, returns: ((2 1) (6 0) (5 9))
