Asian location covering half of the land (4)
I believe the answer is:
agra
'asian' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'location covering half of the land' is the wordplay.
'location covering' becomes 'a' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'half of' means to take half the letters.
'the land' becomes 'graham' (I've seen this before).
'graham' with half the letters taken is 'gra'.
'a'+'gra'='AGRA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for agra that I've seen before include "Home to the Taj Mahal" , "Taj Mahal's city" , "Taj Mahal city" , "Taj Mahal location" , "Site of the Taj Mahal" .)
