What's still carried by nomadic alpacas from the East? (6)
I believe the answer is:
placid
'what's still' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'carried by nomadic alpacas from the east?' is the wordplay.
'carried by' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'from the east?' says the letters should be written backwards (on a map from right to left).
'dicalp' is hidden within 'nomadic alpacas'.
'dicalp' backwards is 'PLACID'.
(Other definitions for placid that I've seen before include "Peaceable and not easily disturbed" , "Calm; Lake" , "Quiet and still" , "without ruffles" , "Serene - unruffled" .)
