Person travelling to ancient city is German (7)
I believe the answer is:
tourist
'person travelling' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'to ancient city is german' is the wordplay.
'ancient city' becomes 'ur' (ancient Sumerian city state).
'is german' becomes 'ist' ('is' in German).
'to'+'ur'+'ist'='TOURIST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tourist that I've seen before include "Holiday traveller" , "Someone who travels for pleasure" , "Sightseeing holidaymaker" , "Tripper, sightseer" , "someone on holiday" .)
