Deprive of claim in Settle, strangely, after I'd turned up (10)
I believe the answer is:
disentitle
'deprive of claim' is the definition.
'disentitle' can be an answer for 'deprive' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'of claim' bit.
'in settle strangely after i'd turned up' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates anagramming the letters.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'turned up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'id' back-to-front is 'di'.
'in'+'settle'='insettle'
'insettle' anagrammed gives 'sentitle'.
'sentitle' put after 'di' is 'DISENTITLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
