There's nothing Oriental about it (8)
I believe the answer is:
occident
'it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'there's nothing oriental about' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'there's' could be 'n' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'n' is present in the answer.
'nothing' could be 'o' (looks like zero - 0) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'oriental' could be 'e' and 'e' is present in the answer.
'about' could be 'c' (circa) and 'c' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for occident that I've seen before include "Europe and America" , "The West as opposed to Orient" , "West End?" .)
