No wise man in Djibouti oddly (5)
I believe the answer is:
idiot
'no wise man' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'in djibouti oddly' is the wordplay.
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters (letters in odd-numbered positions).
'in'+'djibouti'='indjibouti'
The alternating letters of 'indjibouti' are 'IDIOT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for idiot that I've seen before include "Simpleton" , "nutter" , "Ass, ninny" , "Ass, nincompoop" , "Imbecile" .)
