A sweetheart coming back from somewhere in Sicily (6)
I believe the answer is:
ragusa
'somewhere in sicily' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'a sweetheart coming back' is the wordplay.
'sweetheart' becomes 'sugar'.
'coming back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'a'+'sugar'='asugar'
'asugar' reversed gives 'RAGUSA'.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ragusa that I've seen is " Sicilian town".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
