Question a rising traitor in an Arabian land (5)
I believe the answer is:
qatar
'an arabian land' is the definition.
'Qatar' can be an answer for 'land' (Qatar is an example). I am unsure of the 'an arabian' bit.
'question a rising traitor' is the wordplay.
'question' becomes 'q'.
'rising' is a reversal indicator (going up in a down clue).
'traitor' becomes 'rat' (I've seen this before).
'rat' written backwards gives 'tar'.
'q'+'a'+'tar'='QATAR'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for qatar that I've seen before include "Sporting venue" , "Gulf emirate" , "Doha's state" , "Tiny gulf state" , "who won the cup in 2010?" .)
