Outlaw taking shelter in mountain kingdom (6)
I believe the answer is:
bhutan
'mountain kingdom' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'outlaw taking shelter' is the wordplay.
'outlaw' becomes 'ban' (banning is a kind of outlawing).
'taking' is an insertion indicator.
'shelter' becomes 'hut' (hut is a kind of shelter).
'ban' enclosing 'hut' is 'BHUTAN'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bhutan that I've seen before include "Small country" , "Indian protectorate in the southeast Himalayas" , "Bowman" , "Country of the Himalayas" , "Himalayan kingdom" .)
