America to colonise outside here? (7)
I believe the answer is:
seattle
'here?' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'america to colonise outside' is the wordplay.
'america' becomes 'A' (common abbreviation eg in USA).
'to colonise' becomes 'settle' (I've seen this in another clue).
'outside' indicates putting letters inside.
'a' going inside 'settle' is 'SEATTLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seattle that I've seen before include "US Pacific port" , "somewhere in Washington" , "City of north-west USA" , "Largest city in the state of Washington" , "Washington port" .)
