Laity out abroad (5)
I believe the answer is:
italy
'laity out abroad' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'laity out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'laity' is an anagram of 'ITALY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for italy that I've seen before include "Original member of the European Economic Community" , "Country of southern Europe" , "It was the core of the Roman Empire" , "Land for strange laity" , "Problematical (informal)" .)
