Out of intransigency Prussia split part of Europe (6)
I believe the answer is:
cyprus
'europe' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'out of intransigency prussia split' is the wordplay.
'out of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'CYPRUS' is hidden in the letters of 'intransigency prussia split'.
'part of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cyprus that I've seen before include "Mediterranean island country" , "Partitioned Med. island" , "Mediterranean island, capital Nicosia" , "Limassol's island" , "Mediterranean island of Aphrodite" .)
