Mad Pat eying Pharaoh, for example (8)
I believe the answer is:
egyptian
'pharaoh for example' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'mad pat eying' is the wordplay.
'mad' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pat'+'eying'='pateying'
'pateying' anagrammed gives 'EGYPTIAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for egyptian that I've seen before include "Nationality of a Pharaoh" , "Arabic" , "Is Pat eying this son of Cairo, say?" , "Like twenty-two's [ANTONY] lover" , "North-east African" .)
