Money for shipping sago from somewhere abroad (5)
I believe the answer is:
lagos
'somewhere abroad' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'money for shipping sago' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'money' could be 'l' (L can mean 'pounds') and 'l' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'sago' is 'agos' which is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lagos that I've seen before include "African port" , "Formerly capital of Nigeria" , "Nigerian city and port" , "city in Africa" , "African city" .)
