Verse from Iraq aunt translated (8)
I believe the answer is:
quatrain
'verse' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'iraq aunt translated' is the wordplay.
'translated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'iraq'+'aunt'='iraqaunt'
'iraqaunt' anagrammed gives 'QUATRAIN'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for quatrain that I've seen before include "Poem of four lines found in a quart" , "Four-line stanza" , "Type of verse with four lines" , "poetic lines" , "Poet may write it" .)
