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 not certain of the 'from the orient' bit.
'english more authoritarian about a' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation as in OED).
'more authoritarian' becomes 'sterner' (authoritarian can mean strict).
'about' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sterner' put 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" .)
