From the Kent area, a man sitting (6)
I believe the answer is:
seated
'sitting' is the definition.
(I know that sitting can be written as seated)
'from the kent area a man' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'area' could be 'a' (maths abbreviation) and 'a' is present in the answer.
'kent' could be 'se' (Kent is part of the South East of England) and 'se' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seated that I've seen before include "Given chair" , "Sedentary" , "Sitting in sedate way" , "not standing for it" .)
