No inclination from military to make allowance for sovereign? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
civil list
'military to make allowance for sovereign?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'no inclination' is the wordplay.
'no' becomes 'civil' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'inclination' becomes 'list' (list can mean to tilt, lean or incline).
'civil'+'list'='CIVIL LIST'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for civil list that I've seen before include "allowance for royalty" , "support royalty" .)
