A hat for the country? (6)
I believe the answer is:
panama
This clue is a double definition.
'a hat' is the first definition.
(I know that Panama is a type of hat)
'the country' is the second definition.
(Panama is an example)
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for panama that I've seen before include "Canal zone" , "country divided by boaters?" , "Hat; Central Am. canal" , "Criticise" , "What may be seen overhead" .)
