English more authoritarian about a person from the Orient (9)
I believe the answer is:
easterner
'person from the orient' is the definition.
'easterner' can be an answer for 'person' (easterner is a kind of person). I am unsure of the 'from the orient' bit.
'english more authoritarian about a' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'more authoritarian' becomes 'sterner' (authoritarian can mean strict).
'about' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sterner' after 'a' is 'asterner'.
'e'+'asterner'='EASTERNER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for easterner that I've seen before include "Opposite of westerner" , "Asian" , "New Englander, for instance" , "New Yorker perhaps" , "one from Boston, say" .)
