Inherited title I removed from S American country (7)
I believe the answer is:
surname
'i removed from s american country' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'inherited title' is the wordplay.
'inherited' becomes 'sur' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'title' becomes 'name' (I've seen this before).
'sur'+'name'='SURNAME'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for surname that I've seen before include "title inherited from parent" , "Family identifier" , "Something one gets from father" , "Family name" , "Hereditary identifier" .)
