'lesotho?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'first woman to embrace clan reassembled' is the wordplay.
'first woman' becomes 'Eve' (first woman in the bible).
'to embrace' is an insertion indicator.
'reassembled' indicates an anagram.
'clan' anagrammed gives 'ncla'.
'eve' enclosing 'ncla' is 'ENCLAVE'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enclave that I've seen before include "ghetto" , "Part of country surrounded by another" , "Vatican City, say" , "Cultural group embedded in a larger one" , "Minority culture living within larger group" .)
