Result manipulated in Irish city (6)
I believe the answer is:
ulster
'irish city' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'result manipulated' is the wordplay.
'manipulated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'result' with letters rearranged gives 'ULSTER'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ulster that I've seen before include "Long loose overcoat, from the province?" , "Region of Ireland" , "Overcoat; N. Ireland" , "Six, or nine, counties" , "Ancient northern Irish kingdom" .)
