Crossword Genius

Want rep lost in city (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antwerp

'city' is the definition.
(Antwerp is an example)

'want rep lost' is the wordplay.
'lost' indicates an anagram.
'want'+'rep'='wantrep'
'wantrep' is an anagram of 'ANTWERP'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for antwerp that I've seen before include "Belgian port and province" , "Province and port of Belgium" , "9/11 [OLYMPIC VENUE]" , "European city" , "Wrap net around this Belgian city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
