English newspaper written up for Arab? (6)
I believe the answer is:
semite
'for arab?' is the definition.
(arab is a kind of Semite)
'english newspaper written up' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'newspaper' becomes 'times' (The Times is an example).
'written up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'e'+'times'='etimes'
'etimes' written backwards gives 'SEMITE'.
(Other definitions for semite that I've seen before include "Jew or Arab" , "Arab maybe" , "Israeli or Palestinian, say" , "Member of Jewish or Arab race" , "one with Jewish blood" .)
