Chinese take-away? (8)
I believe the answer is:
shanghai
'chinese' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shanghai that I've seen before include "part of China?" , "Trick into naval service" , "Oddly, you can gain hash in the Chinese city" , "Trick (someone) into becoming a sailor" , "Drug and put on a ship" .)
