Isle that rises to enclose one Pacific paradise (6)
I believe the answer is:
tahiti
'isle that rises to enclose one pacific paradise' is the definition.
'Tahiti' can be an answer for 'isle' (Tahiti is an example). I am not sure about the remainder of the definition.
'isle that rises to enclose one' is the wordplay.
'isle' becomes 'i' (geographical abbreviation).
'rises' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'to enclose' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'i'+'that'='ithat'
'ithat' written backwards gives 'tahti'.
'tahti' placed around 'i' is 'TAHITI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
