Macao bid in tumble with a south-east Asian country (8)
I believe the answer is:
cambodia
'asian country' is the definition.
(country in Asia)
'macao bid in tumble with a south-east' is the wordplay.
'macao bid' anagrams to 'CAMBODIA'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cambodia that I've seen before include "distant land" , "Oriental country" , "SW Asian state" , "somewhere in Asia" , "A nation in southeastern Asia" .)
