New Zealander taking some kids to the West Indies (4)
I believe the answer is:
kiwi
'new zealander' is the definition.
(informal term for someone from New Zealand)
'some kids to the west indies' is the wordplay.
'some kids' becomes 'ki' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'to the west indies' becomes 'wi'.
'ki'+'wi'='KIWI'
'taking' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kiwi that I've seen before include "Enzedder; flightless bird" , "apteryx" , "N Zealand bird" , "Hairy fruit with green flesh" , "Rutherford was one" .)
