Warrior spirit rising in parts of Asia (7)
I believe the answer is:
samurai
'warrior' is the definition.
(samurai is a kind of warrior)
'spirit rising in parts of asia' is the wordplay.
'spirit' becomes 'rum' (alcoholic spirit).
'rising' says the letters should be written backwards (going up in a down clue).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'parts of' is an anagram indicator.
'rum' backwards is 'mur'.
'asia' with letters rearranged gives 'saai'.
'mur' inserted inside 'saai' is 'SAMURAI'.
(Other definitions for samurai that I've seen before include "Traditional warriors of Japan" , "Traditional Japanese warriors" , "Traditional Japanese warrior" , "Japanese militarist" , "Japanese fighter" .)
