I'm left to get things from abroad (6)
I believe the answer is:
import
'get things from abroad' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'i'm left' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard).
'im'+'port'='IMPORT'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for import that I've seen before include "Meaning - something from abroad" , "Meaning - bring goods into the country" , "introduce" , "Bring in; significance" , "Bring in from abroad to sell" .)
