Miami godfather embracing pal from Cuba (5)
I believe the answer is:
amigo
'pal from cuba' is the definition.
'amigo' can be an answer for 'pal' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'from cuba' bit.
'miami godfather embracing' is the wordplay.
'embracing' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the solution is embraced by words in the clue).
'AMIGO' can be found hidden inside 'miami godfather'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amigo that I've seen before include "Friend in Spanish-speaking area" , "Mexican friend" , "A Mexican pal" , "China (in Spain's view)" , "A Spanish pal" .)
