University delegate sent over by this country (4)
I believe the answer is:
peru
'this country' is the definition.
(I know that Peru is South American country)
'university delegate sent over by' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'university' could be 'u' (abbreviation for university) and 'u' is located in the answer.
'by' could be 'per' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'per' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peru that I've seen before include "Andes republic" , "Land of the Incas" , "Country of Lima, Cuzco and Paddington Bear" , "South American country" , "South American republic" .)
