A long dispute concerning England (5)
I believe the answer is:
anglo
'england' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a long dispute' is the wordplay.
'dispute' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'disputed' mean this).
'long' is an anagram of 'nglo'.
'a'+'nglo'='ANGLO'
'concerning' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anglo that I've seen before include "Prefix meaning English or British" , "Prefix denoting English" .)
