American providing security at Uncle's? (6)
I believe the answer is:
pawnee
'american' is the definition.
(Pawnee is an example)
'security at uncle's?' is the wordplay.
'security' becomes 'pawn' (I've seen this before).
'at uncle's?' becomes 'ee' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pawn'+'ee'='PAWNEE'
'providing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pawnee that I've seen before include "North American Indian - one taking a pledge" , "N American native" , "one living in America" .)
