Capital where king is evidently venerated, initially (4)
I believe the answer is:
kiev
'capital' is the definition.
(Kiev is an example)
'king is evidently venerated initially' is the wordplay.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'king is evidently venerated' is 'KIEV'.
'where' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for kiev that I've seen before include "FC Dynamo/chicken ___" , "Ukrainian city" , "Capital city of the Ukraine" , "Ukraine's capital - way of cooking chicken" , "place in eastern Europe" .)
