Show caught in country before half-term (8)
I believe the answer is:
indicate
'show' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'caught in country before half-term' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'country before' becomes 'india' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'half-term' becomes 'te'.
'c' put within 'india' is 'indica'.
'indica'+'te'='INDICATE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for indicate that I've seen before include "Point out or give some notion of" , "Point, show, signal" , "Make a signal" , "Point out, suggest" , "(Give a) signal" .)
