One serial adaptation of Living in the Middle East (7)
I believe the answer is:
israeli
'living in the middle east' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'one serial adaptation' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'adaptation' indicates an anagram.
'serial' anagrammed gives 'sraeli'.
'i'+'sraeli'='ISRAELI'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for israeli that I've seen before include "Country-dweller" , "from Mediterranean country" , "Citizen of a Middle Eastern nation" , "From Jaffa, say?" , "From Nazareth?" .)
