Excited at nearing country (9)
I believe the answer is:
argentina
'country' is the definition.
(Argentina is an example)
'excited at nearing' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates an anagram.
'at'+'nearing'='atnearing'
'atnearing' with letters rearranged gives 'ARGENTINA'.
(Other definitions for argentina that I've seen before include "An ingrate in S American country" , "state" , "Its capital Buenos Aires" , "FIFA World Cup winners in 1978 and 1986" , "Home of the tango" .)
