Plant in Cambridgeshire city coming from Netherlands perhaps? (8)
I believe the answer is:
easterly
'from netherlands perhaps?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'plant in cambridgeshire city' is the wordplay.
'plant' becomes 'aster' (aster is a kind of plant).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'cambridgeshire city' becomes 'ely' (Ely is a city in Cambridgeshire).
'aster' inserted within 'ely' is 'EASTERLY'.
'coming' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for easterly that I've seen before include "The sort of wind that brings cold air to this country" , "Year's let (anag) - direction of 15" , "A wind blowing towards the west" , "bitter blow for the UK" , "Of wind, blowing from direction of rising sun" .)
