Romania is misplaced in this part of the world (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
asia minor
'world' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'romania is misplaced' is the wordplay.
'misplaced' indicates anagramming the letters.
'romania'+'is'='romaniais'
'romaniais' with letters rearranged gives 'ASIA MINOR'.
'in this part of the' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for asia minor that I've seen before include "was visited by early missionary" , "part of Turkey" , "several?" , "Historical name for Anatolia" , "Alternative name for Anatolia" .)
