Deaf Ghanaian safeguards sheepskin coat (6)
I believe the answer is:
afghan
'sheepskin coat' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'deaf ghanaian safeguards' is the wordplay.
'AFGHAN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for afghan that I've seen before include "Asian - hound" , "language" , "Eg, native of Kabul; blanket, shawl" , "Nationality of citizen of Kabul" , "Type of hunting dog" .)
