Pacific islands object about having to accept English ways (9)
I believe the answer is:
melanesia
'pacific islands' is the definition.
'melanesia' can be an answer for 'islands' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'pacific' bit.
'object about having to accept english ways' is the wordplay.
'object' becomes 'aim' (synonyms).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'having to accept' indicates putting letters inside.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'ways' becomes 'lanes' (lane is a kind of way).
'aim' in reverse letter order is 'mia'.
'e'+'lanes'='elanes'
'mia' enclosing 'elanes' is 'MELANESIA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for melanesia that I've seen before include "islands in the Pacific" , "Pacific island group" .)
