Met seal migrating from Mediterranean island? (7)
I believe the answer is:
maltese
'mediterranean island?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'met seal migrating' is the wordplay.
'migrating' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'migrate' mean this).
'met'+'seal'='metseal'
'metseal' anagrammed gives 'MALTESE'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for maltese that I've seen before include "Someone from Valletta?" , "sort of cross" , "The -- Falcon, 1941 film" , "Pigeon" , "European" .)
