Girl in Britain or abroad (4)
I believe the answer is:
nora
'girl' is the definition.
(feminine name)
'in britain or abroad' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'NORA' can be found hidden inside 'britain or abroad'.
(Other definitions for nora that I've seen before include "Woman" , "Girl's name" , "-- Batty (Last of the Summer Wine)" .)
