Great uncle love a Pacific island nation? (5)
I believe the answer is:
samoa
'pacific island nation?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'great uncle love a' is the wordplay.
'great uncle' becomes 'sam' (Uncle Sam is an example. I am not sure about the 'great' bit.).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'sam'+'o'+'a'='SAMOA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for samoa that I've seen before include "South-west Pacific nation" , "Group of islands in the South Pacific" , "island territory" , "Polynesian island group" , "Polynesian isle" .)
