Like a family relocated in Okinawa (4)
I believe the answer is:
akin
'like' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'a family relocated in okinawa' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'family' could be 'kin' (synonyms) and 'kin' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for akin that I've seen before include "Having similar characteristics" , "Related or similar - as a relative?" , "Seemingly related" , "not totally similar" , "Similar, like" .)
