Name isle settled by some Italians (8)
I believe the answer is:
milanese
'name isle settled by some italians' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'name isle settled' is the wordplay.
'settled' indicates an anagram.
'name'+'isle'='nameisle'
'nameisle' anagrammed gives 'MILANESE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for milanese that I've seen before include "Native to one Italian city" , "From a N. Italian city" , "Inhabitants of Italy's second city" .)
