Consequence of cold snap seeing setback for this leader of warm place? (4)
I believe the answer is:
emir
'consequence of cold snap seeing setback for this leader of warm place?' is the definition.
'emir' can be an answer for 'leader' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the remainder of the definition.
'leader of warm place?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'leader' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'mir' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emir that I've seen before include "Arab chieftain" , "Muslim ruler stuck in mire" , "Islamic ruler" , "Muslim chief" , "Eastern ruler in mire" .)
