Hang about on a bit of land (5)
I believe the answer is:
ghana
'bit of land' is the definition.
'Ghana' can be an answer for 'land' (Ghana is an example). I am not sure about the 'bit of' bit.
'hang about on a' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'on' means one lot of letters goes inside another (as in clothing \'on\' a person).
'hang' with letters rearranged gives 'ghna'.
'ghna' placed around 'a' is 'GHANA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ghana that I've seen before include "Former Gold Coast" , "Ah, nag one into going to Africa" , "Woody raspberry stem" , "West African republic" , "African country, W. of Togo" .)
