Country accountant and doctor love raising donations (8)
I believe the answer is:
cambodia
'country' is the definition.
(I know that Cambodia is a country)
'accountant and doctor love raising donations' is the wordplay.
'accountant' becomes 'CA' (abbreviation for chartered accountant).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'doctor' becomes 'MB' (Bachelor of Medicine, Medicinae Baccalaureus).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'raising donations' becomes 'dia' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ca'+'mb'+'o'+'dia'='CAMBODIA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cambodia that I've seen before include "SE Asian nation" , "SW Asian state" , "Country of SE Asia" , "A nation in southeastern Asia" , "distant land" .)
