Eager to capture a country (7)
I believe the answer is:
hungary
'country' is the definition.
(I know that Hungary is a country)
'eager to capture a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hungry' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hungary that I've seen before include "East European country" , "It's capital is Budapest" , "Country where Magyar is spoken" , "Liszt's land" , "One member of NATO" .)
