Franklin at home in old Dahomey (5)
I believe the answer is:
benin
'old dahomey' is the definition.
'Benin' can be an answer for 'dahomey' (synonyms). I am not certain of the 'old' bit.
'franklin at home' is the wordplay.
'franklin' becomes 'ben' (I've seen this in another clue).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'ben'+'in'='BENIN'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for benin that I've seen before include "part of Africa" , "French-speaking West African country" , "City formerly known as Dahomey" , "Old West African kingdom from which 'bronze' sculptures were looted by the British in 1897" , "East African state" .)
