Man, for example, in Paisley (4)
I believe the answer is:
isle
'man for example' is the definition.
(Isle of Man is an example)
'in paisley' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ISLE' is hidden within 'paisley'.
(Other definitions for isle that I've seen before include "Ireland, perhaps" , "Small landmass" , "Skye or Capri?" , "Small region of land" , "'This scepter'd - - (Shakespeare)" .)
