New head of company is human so far (8)
I believe the answer is:
inasmuch
'far' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'new head of company is human' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'head of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'company' is 'c'.
'c'+'is'+'human'='cishuman'
'cishuman' is an anagram of 'INASMUCH'.
'so' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inasmuch that I've seen before include "'- as' means 'to the extent that'" , "to such a degree" , "In so far as, because" , "Insofar as, as Munich might be" .)
