Middle Eastern individual has right answer to question one (5)
I believe the answer is:
iraqi
'middle eastern individual' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'has right answer to question one' is the wordplay.
'has right' becomes 'ir' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A).
'to question' becomes 'q'.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'ir'+'a'+'q'+'i'='IRAQI'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iraqi that I've seen before include "Foreign citizen" , "Native of Baghdad, say" , "Nationality of citizen of Baghdad" , "foreigner" , "From Basra, possibly" .)
