East German boy receiving a kiss (5)
I believe the answer is:
saxon
'east german' is the definition.
'saxon' can be an answer for 'german' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'east' bit.
'boy receiving a kiss' is the wordplay.
'boy' becomes 'son' (male child).
'receiving' indicates putting letters inside.
'kiss' becomes 'x' (X can represent a kiss).
'a'+'x'='ax'
'son' going around 'ax' is 'SAXON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for saxon that I've seen before include "Ancient German" , "Germanic conqueror of southern England" , "Pre-Norman" , "Member of old Germanic people" , "Settler from Germany in the home counties" .)
