A quarantine, in Irish isles (4)
I believe the answer is:
aran
'a quarantine in irish isles' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'a quarantine in' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ARAN' can be found hidden inside 'quarantine'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aran that I've seen before include "Irish style of knitwear" , "Galway Bay isle" , "-- Islands; -- sweater" , "Irish islands" , "traditional type of knitwear" .)
