Man among the Maoris left in tatters (4)
I believe the answer is:
isle
'man' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'among the maoris left in tatters' is the wordplay.
'ISLE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for isle that I've seen before include "___ of Dogs, Man or Skye" , "This is sceptred!" , "This could be key" , "Wight or Man, say" , "Small seabound place" .)
