Specialist in Chile can't, surprisingly (9)
I believe the answer is:
technical
'specialist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'chile can't surprisingly' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'chile'+'cant'='chilecant'
'chilecant' is an anagram of 'TECHNICAL'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for technical that I've seen before include "specialising in applied science" , "Requiring specialist knowledge" , "Concerned with applied sciences" , "Using specialised skill" , "Concerned with applied science" .)
