Foreigner given a wave? (7)
I believe the answer is:
mexican
'foreigner' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a wave?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'given' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mexican that I've seen before include "A central American" , "From Chihuahua, perhaps" , "Latin" , "From Guadalajara or Acapulco?" .)
