Entering a foreign country (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

argentine

'country' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'entering a foreign' is the wordplay.
'foreign' indicates an anagram (foreign order of the letters).
'entering'+'a'='enteringa'
'enteringa' anagrammed gives 'ARGENTINE'.

(Other definitions for argentine that I've seen before include "South American" , "like silver" , "Strange tangerine from S. American country" , "National" , "silvery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
