One learning the way in N. Ireland? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tyrone
'one learning' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'the way in n ireland?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'way' could be 'r' (abbreviation for right) and 'r' is found in the answer.
'n' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tyrone that I've seen before include "Traditional county of Northern Ireland" , "County of N. Ireland" , "Omagh its chief town" , "An Ulster county" , "Irish county" .)
