Where it’s the UK’s turn to be patient? (6)
I believe the answer is:
kuwait
'where' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'the uk's turn to be patient?' is the wordplay.
'turn' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'to be patient?' becomes 'wait' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'uk' in reverse letter order is 'ku'.
'ku'+'wait'='KUWAIT'
'it's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kuwait that I've seen before include "Gulf state" , "Saddam Hussein invaded this country on Persian Gulf" , "Arab kingdom, major source of oil" , "Gulf War liberated it, 1991" , "in Middle East" .)
