Range around East Timor’s capital in train again (7)
I believe the answer is:
reteach
'train again' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'range around east timor's capital' is the wordplay.
'range' becomes 'reach' (synonyms).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'capital' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'east timor' is 'et'.
'reach' enclosing 'et' is 'RETEACH'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Another definition for reteach that I've seen is " school again".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
