European in South Africa left Durban for example (7)
I believe the answer is:
seaport
'durban for example' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'european in south africa left' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'south africa' becomes 'SA' (abbreviation).
'left' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard).
'e' inserted into 'sa' is 'sea'.
'sea'+'port'='SEAPORT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seaport that I've seen before include "Dover, say" , "Place with harbour for ocean-going ships" , "Liverpool" , "Lisbon, for example" , "Sydney perhaps" .)
