Sailor has a way with him in foreign parts (6)
I believe the answer is:
abroad
'in foreign parts' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sailor has a way' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'ab' (abbreviation for able seaman).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a way' becomes 'road' (road is a kind of way).
'ab'+'road'='ABROAD'
'with him' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abroad that I've seen before include "over a wide area" , "In another country, not at home" , "In foreign land" , "In a foreign country" , "to France, maybe" .)
