One making new life abroad -- former postman? (5)
I believe the answer is:
expat
'one making new life abroad' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'former postman?' is the wordplay.
'former' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'postman?' becomes 'pat' (children's TV character Postman Pat).
'ex'+'pat'='EXPAT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for expat that I've seen before include "resident abroad" , "One living in foreign country" , "Emigre" , "one settled abroad" , "he has emigrated" .)
