Article on spread of Cinerama material to the US? (9)
I believe the answer is:
americana
'material to the us?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'article on spread of cinerama' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'on' indicates putting letters inside.
'spread of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'cinerama' with letters rearranged gives 'americna'.
'a' going inside 'americna' is 'AMERICANA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for americana that I've seen before include "Wild West material?" , "Artefacts distinctive of the US" , "Country objects" , "Yank stuff" , "Foreign collection" .)
