Giant captures live native of the Far East (7)
I believe the answer is:
tibetan
'native of the far east' is the definition.
'tibetan' can be an answer for 'native' (I have seen 'Native of Lhasa ' mean 'tibetan' so perhaps 'native' could also mean 'tibetan'). I'm not sure about the 'of the far east' bit.
'giant captures live' is the wordplay.
'giant' becomes 'titan' (titans are giant mythological creatures).
'captures' indicates putting letters inside.
'live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'titan' enclosing 'be' is 'TIBETAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tibetan that I've seen before include "native of Lhasa, say?" , "Oriental" , "mountain man, say" , "Himalayan language" , "Nationality of the Dalai Lama" .)
