Lying American overturned deal, say (6)
I believe the answer is:
supine
'lying american overturned deal say' is the definition.
'supine' can be an answer for 'lying' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'american overturned deal say' bit.
'lying american overturned deal' is the wordplay.
'lying american' becomes 'us' (abbreviation for United States. I am not sure about the 'lying' bit.).
'overturned' says the letters should be written backwards.
'deal' becomes 'pine' (deal can mean wood for building with eg pine).
'us' written backwards gives 'su'.
'su'+'pine'='SUPINE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for supine that I've seen before include "Unresisting" , "Use pin (anag.)" , "looking up" , "offering no resistance" , "Flat on one's back" .)
