Mean European at the back is from Jordan, say (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
middle eastern
'back is from jordan say' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'mean european at' is the wordplay.
'mean' becomes 'middle' (I've seen this in another clue).
'european at' becomes 'eastern' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'middle'+'eastern'='MIDDLE EASTERN'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for middle eastern that I've seen is " From an area stretching from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean".)
