Russian dynasty with country in range, dropping back (7)
I believe the answer is:
romanov
'russian dynasty' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'with country in range dropping back' is the wordplay.
'with country' becomes 'oman' (Oman is an example. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'range' becomes 'rove' (synonyms).
'dropping back' means to remove the last letter.
'rove' with its last letter taken away is 'rov'.
'oman' put into 'rov' is 'ROMANOV'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for romanov that I've seen before include "Russian royal dynasty" , "one of 23 [DYNASTY]" , "Russian ruling dynasty" , "The last dynasty to rule Russia" , "Member of the Russian royal family, 1613 to 1917" .)
