Partly form a law in an African country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

malawi

'an african country' is the definition.
(Malawi is an example)

'partly form a law in' is the wordplay.
'partly' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'MALAWI' is hidden within 'form a law in'.

(Other definitions for malawi that I've seen before include "Landlocked country of south central Africa" , "It was called Nyasaland" , "Landlocked African state" , "African country, capital Lilongwe" , "African nation, formerly Nyasaland" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
