Where the islanders are a bit capricious? (5)
I believe the answer is:
capri
'where the islanders' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'a bit capricious?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'bit' could be 'i' (resembles 1, a binary digit or bit) and 'i' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cpr' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'are' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for capri that I've seen before include "Old Ford model - Italian island" , "Romantic Isle in Bay of Naples" , "Island off Italy" , "Mediterranean island" , "Neapolitan isle" .)
