Asia's evergreen press chap left article (8)
I believe the answer is:
jambolan
'asia's evergreen press' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'chap left article' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'jambo' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'jambo'+'l'+'an'='JAMBOLAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
