Semite near Moroccan location brought round by hospital in city (5,7)
I believe the answer is:
santa barbara
'city' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Californian city ' mean 'santa barbara' so perhaps 'city' could also mean 'santa barbara')
'semite near moroccan location brought round by hospital' is the wordplay.
'semite' becomes 'arab' (Arab is an example).
'near moroccan location' becomes 'rabat' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'brought round' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'hospital' becomes 'san' (short for sanatorium).
'arab'+'rabat'='arabrabat'
'arabrabat' back-to-front is 'tabarbara'.
'tabarbara' put after 'san' is 'SANTA BARBARA'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for santa barbara that I've seen before include "California city on the "American Riviera"" , "Californian city" , "Coastal resort city in southern California" , "City of SW California" .)
