A Sicilian small town kid going to America (6)
I believe the answer is:
ragusa
'a sicilian small town' is the definition.
'ragusa' can be an answer for 'town' (I have seen 'Sicilian town' mean 'ragusa' so perhaps 'town' could also mean 'ragusa'). I am not certain of the 'a sicilian small' bit.
'kid going to america' is the wordplay.
'kid' becomes 'rag' (I've seen this in other clues).
'going to' says to put letters next to each other.
'america' becomes 'usa' ('U.S.A.' can be a synonym of 'america').
'rag'+'usa'='RAGUSA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ragusa that I've seen is " Sicilian town".)
