Some evil lag exploiting rural community (7)
I believe the answer is:
village
'rural community' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'some evil lag exploiting' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'VILLAGE' is hidden within 'evil lag exploiting'.
(Other definitions for village that I've seen before include "Small community" , "Settlement smaller than a town" , "Goldsmith poem 'The Deserted .......'" , "Large hamlet" , "little place" .)
