Goes off round India with maiden being selfish (6)
I believe the answer is:
egoism
'goes off round india with maiden being selfish' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'goes off round india with maiden' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'maiden' becomes 'm' (cricket abbreviation).
'goes' is an anagram of 'egos'.
'egos' going around 'i' is 'egois'.
'egois'+'m'='EGOISM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for egoism that I've seen before include "Self-seeking" , "self-centred doctrine" , "Self interest" , "principle of self-interest" , "Exaggerated sense of one's own importance" .)
