States things in a camera incorrectly? (9)
I believe the answer is:
americana
'states things' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'in a camera incorrectly?' is the wordplay.
'incorrectly?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'in'+'a'+'camera'='inacamera'
'inacamera' with letters rearranged gives 'AMERICANA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for americana that I've seen before include "Things linked to the US" , "Hollywood stuff, inter alia" , "Objects from the New World" , "Foreign collection" , "Yank stuff" .)
