Way out for a foreign regular (7)
I believe the answer is:
unusual
'way out' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a foreign regular' is the wordplay.
'a foreign' becomes 'un' ('a' translated into French).
'regular' becomes 'usual' ('usual' can be similar in meaning to 'regular').
'un'+'usual'='UNUSUAL'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unusual that I've seen before include "Not commor or ordinary" , "Remarkable, exceptional" , "Odd - rare" , "Peculiar" , "Not commonly encountered" .)
