Something Kipling wrote to some extent describes Tanzania (6)
I believe the answer is:
stanza
'something kipling wrote' is the definition.
(Rudyard Kipling was a poet)
'some extent describes tanzania' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'STANZA' is hidden in the letters of 'extent describes tanzania'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for stanza that I've seen before include "Unit of a poem" , "Fixed number of lines of verse" , "Section of verse" , "Lines often repeated" , "Group of poetic lines" .)
