Lands taken from Eastern country (6)
I believe the answer is:
estate
'lands' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'eastern country' is the wordplay.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'country' becomes 'state' (synonyms).
'e'+'state'='ESTATE'
'taken from' is the link.
(Other definitions for estate that I've seen before include "All of one's assets -- 5-door car" , "Housing area" , "Property and possessions of the deceased" , "(see 1)" , "all the deceased owned" .)
