City conquered by clean-shaven egotist from the east (6)
I believe the answer is:
geneva
'city' is the definition.
(Geneva is an example)
'conquered by clean-shaven egotist from the east' is the wordplay.
'GENEVA' is hidden backwards in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for geneva that I've seen before include "Lake between Switzerland and France" , "Swiss lakeside city" , "Swiss city/lake" , "Swiss city - Dutch spirit" , "Swiss city housing the Red Cross headquarters" .)
