From two countries, original moves meeting silence (5-5)
I believe the answer is:
anglo-irish
'from two countries' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'original moves meeting silence' is the wordplay.
'moves' is an anagram indicator.
'meeting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'silence' becomes 'sh' ('sh' is said to tell someone to be silent).
'original' anagrammed gives 'angloiri'.
'angloiri'+'sh'='ANGLO-IRISH'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
