orange

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'seville it may seem can' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'right in genoa' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'genoa' is 'oange' which is present in the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
