Country girl seen weaving ahead (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senegal

'country' is the definition.
(Senegal is an example)

'girl seen weaving ahead' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'gal' ('gal' can be a synonym of 'girl'**).
'weaving' indicates an anagram.
'ahead' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'seen' anagrammed gives 'sene'.
'gal' after 'sene' is 'SENEGAL'.

(Other definitions for senegal that I've seen before include "Northwest African country" , "Nel ages here in Africa" , "Land" , "Dakar is its capital" , "Former French colony in Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
