I intended to skip Australia after embracing bloke dwelling within (8)
I believe the answer is:
immanent
'bloke dwelling within' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'i intended to skip australia after embracing' is the wordplay.
'intended' becomes 'meant' (to mean something is to intend it).
'to skip' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'australia' becomes 'A' (abbreviation for Australia).
'after' becomes 'man' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'embracing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'meant' with 'a' removed is 'ment'.
'ment' enclosing 'man' is 'mmanent'.
'i'+'mmanent'='IMMANENT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for immanent that I've seen before include "(Of God) permanently pervading universe" , "everywhere in godlike fashion" , "Existing or operating within" .)
