Boy flees prison, plunging into blue Mediterranean (7)
I believe the answer is:
cyprian
'boy flees prison plunging' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'into blue mediterranean' is the wordplay.
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'blue' becomes 'cyan' (I have seen 'Greenish blue ' mean 'cyan' so perhaps 'blue' could also mean 'cyan').
'mediterranean' becomes 'pri' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'cyan' enclosing 'pri' is 'CYPRIAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
