English welcome in patio after rambling about country (8)
I believe the answer is:
ethiopia
'country' is the definition.
(Ethiopia is an example)
'english welcome in patio after rambling about' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'welcome' becomes 'hi' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'after rambling about' is an anagram indicator.
'patio' anagrammed gives 'topia'.
'hi' inserted within 'topia' is 'thiopia'.
'e'+'thiopia'='ETHIOPIA'
(Other definitions for ethiopia that I've seen before include "Tie a Hopi up in Africa" , "Where Haile Selassie was once emperor" , "Largest country of the Horn of Africa" , "Country formerly called Abyssinia" , "Country of N Africa, capital Addis Ababa" .)
