Belgian defence finally forgiven after scoreless draw? (7)
I believe the answer is:
walloon
'belgian' is the definition.
(Walloons are an ethnic group of Wallonia, Belgium)
'defence finally forgiven after scoreless draw?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'defence' could be 'wall' (wall is a kind of defence) and 'wall' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'oon' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for walloon that I've seen before include "Southern Belgian" , "Native of S Belgium or N France area" , "French-speaking Belgian" , "Francophone" , "European" .)
