Addled Californian forgets lion is from the Serengeti, for instance (7)
I believe the answer is:
african
'from the serengeti for instance' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'addled californian forgets lion' is the wordplay.
'addled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'forgets' suggests deleting specific letters.
'californian' with 'lion' removed is 'cafrian'.
'cafrian' anagrammed gives 'AFRICAN'.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for african that I've seen before include "from Liberia?" , "Can a fir have this nationality?" , "Person from Kenya, say" , "From the second largest continent" , "Kenyan, perhaps" .)
