Old address for males in the Middle East? (5)
I believe the answer is:
yemen
'old address' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'for males in the middle east?' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'y' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'males' becomes 'men' (man is a kind of male).
'in the middle' indicates putting letters inside.
'east?' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'y'+'men'='ymen'
'ymen' enclosing 'e' is 'YEMEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yemen that I've seen before include "Country to W. of Oman" , "Republic by the Red Sea" , "Saudi neighbour" , "Arabian country, capital Sanaa" , "Aden is found here" .)
