I believe the answer is:

arab

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'middle easterner' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'in car abroad' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ARAB' is hidden within 'car abroad'.

'found' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for arab that I've seen before include "One from the Middle East, say" , "Small riding horse" , "Mount" , "Saudi, e.g." , "Saudi or Omani, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
