One single girl from Wales from the east (5)
I believe the answer is:
asian
'from the east' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'one single girl' is the wordplay.
'one single' becomes 'a' (a single example of something).
'girl' becomes 'sian' (girl's name).
'a'+'sian'='ASIAN'
'from wales' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for asian that I've seen before include "from some eastern locale?" , "Thai or Afghan, maybe" , "of Indian descent, say?" , "inhabitant of Lahore, perhaps" , "florid writing" .)
