Local from NE coming round at four (6)
I believe the answer is:
native
'local' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'ne coming round at four' is the wordplay.
'coming round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'four' becomes 'iv' (roman numeral).
'at'+'iv'='ativ'
'ne' going around 'ativ' is 'NATIVE'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for native that I've seen before include "Son" , "mother" , "Original inhabitant" , "One born in a certain place" , "Indigenous person" .)
