Foreigner meets park-keeper on street (8)
I believe the answer is:
stranger
'foreigner' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'park-keeper on street' is the wordplay.
'park-keeper' becomes 'ranger' (I've seen this before).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'ranger' after 'st' is 'STRANGER'.
'meets' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stranger that I've seen before include "unfamiliar figure" , "Person in place or company to which he does not belong" , "Someone unfamiliar" , "Regrants oddly to person unknown" , "Non-acquaintance" .)
