Sunny capital of Eritrea maybe pedestrianised around the outside (8)
I believe the answer is:
carefree
'sunny capital' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'eritrea maybe pedestrianised around the outside' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'around' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carefree that I've seen before include "Without worry or responsibility" , "Free from anxiety or responsibility" , "Jaunty" , "Light-hearted, no worries" , "Happy-go-lucky, no worries" .)
