A quiet discomfort for a member of a North American people (6)
I believe the answer is:
apache
'member of a north american people' is the definition.
'apache' can be an answer for 'member' (I have seen 'member of tribe' mean 'apache' so perhaps 'member' could also mean 'apache'). I'm not certain of the 'of a north american people' bit.
'a quiet discomfort for a' is the wordplay.
'a quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet).
'discomfort' becomes 'ache' (I've seen this in another clue).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'p'+'ache'='pache'
'pache' put after 'a' is 'APACHE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apache that I've seen before include "North American Indian tribe - Paris ruffian" , "member of tribe" , "N American Indian tribe or old Paris ruffian" , "settler in Oklahoma?" , "American Indian once found in Paris" .)
