Meaning of item brought from abroad (6)
I believe the answer is:
import
I believe this is a double definition.
'meaning' is the first definition.
(I know that meaning can be written as import)
'item brought from abroad' is the second definition.
(an imported item)
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for import that I've seen before include "Implied meaning, bring from abroad" , "Bring in; significance" , "Drift" , "Bring in from abroad to sell" , "introduction" .)
