Bail out east of Java (4)
I believe the answer is:
bali
'east of java' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bail out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'bail' with letters rearranged gives 'BALI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bali that I've seen before include "Middle East country" , "mountainous island" , "Holiday island to the east of Java" , "Javanese island" , "Indonesian holiday destination" .)
