Oriental trick can take in a person from Cairo (8)
I believe the answer is:
egyptian
'from cairo' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'oriental trick can take in a person' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'oriental' could be 'e' and 'e' is located in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for egyptian that I've seen before include "Like twenty-two's [ANTONY] lover" , "Native of the land of the Pharaohs" , "Mummy" , "Eg, native of Cairo" , "Nationality of citizen of Cairo" .)
