Island's wild animal, one getting cold on top and bottom (9)
I believe the answer is:
icelandic
'island's' is the definition.
(I know this)
'wild animal one getting cold on top and bottom' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'animal' could be 'eland' (eland is a type of antelope) and 'eland' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'cold' could be 'c' (eg on taps) and 'c' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for icelandic that I've seen before include "in island republic" , "As European" , "Like many sagas" , "Language of people of Reykjavik" , "Eg, native to Reykjavik" .)
