Town in the wild Andes (5)
I believe the answer is:
sedan
'town in' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'wild andes' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'andes' anagrammed gives 'SEDAN'.
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sedan that I've seen before include "Covered seat carried by bearers" , "Chair; car" , "Palanquin; car" , "A closed litter for one passenger" , "Once a mobile chair for Danes" .)
