Year in capital strangely unrepresentative (8)
I believe the answer is:
atypical
'unrepresentative' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'year in capital strangely' is the wordplay.
'year' becomes 'y'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'strangely' is an anagram indicator.
'capital' with letters rearranged gives 'atpical'.
'y' going inside 'atpical' is 'ATYPICAL'.
(Other definitions for atypical that I've seen before include "Nonconformist" , "Not conforming to a type" , "Abnormal, aberrent." , "Not representative or usual" , "Uncharacteristic" .)
