Servile - like Balkan people? (7)
I believe the answer is:
slavish
'servile' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'like balkan people?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'like' could be 'ish' (similar in meaning) and 'ish' is found in the answer.
'balkan' could be 'slav' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'slav' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for slavish that I've seen before include "Submissive, servile" , "Abjectly subservient" , "fawning" , "that's hardly original" , "Obsequious" .)
