Islander in a trance? (6)
I believe the answer is:
cretan
'islander' is the definition.
(someone from Crete)
'a trance?' is the wordplay.
'trance' anagrams to 'CRETAN'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cretan that I've seen before include "Island nationality of citizen of Heraklion" , "One from largest Greek isle" , "Native of Minoan island" , "Inhabitant of a large Greek island" , "Greek islander" .)
