Return from foolish mooching around capitals in Middle East (10)
I believe the answer is:
homecoming
'return' is the definition.
(I know that return can be written as homecoming)
'foolish mooching around capitals in middle east' is the wordplay.
'foolish' indicates an anagram (a foolish spelling).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'capitals in' suggests taking the first letters (I've seen 'capital in' mean this).
The initial letters of 'middle east' is 'me'.
'mooching' with letters rearranged gives 'hocoming'.
'hocoming' enclosing 'me' is 'HOMECOMING'.
'from' is the link.
(Another definition for homecoming that I've seen is " Return (of wanderer)".)
