Asian old man affectionately greeted Schwarzenegger, some said (9)
I believe the answer is:
pakistani
'asian' is the definition.
(Pakistan is in Asia)
'old man affectionately greeted schwarzenegger some said' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'man' could be 'stan' and 'stan' is present in the answer.
'some' could be 'a' and 'a' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pakistani that I've seen before include "National" , "Nationality of citizen of Islamabad" , "Eg, native of Islamabad" , "E.g. someone from Islamabad" , "Oriental" .)
