Radio bringing in leader of Yemen's despotic regime (7)
I believe the answer is:
tyranny
'despotic regime' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'radio bringing in leader of yemen's' is the wordplay.
'radio' becomes 'tranny' (I've seen this before).
'bringing in' indicates putting letters inside.
'leader of' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'yemens' is 'y'.
'tranny' enclosing 'y' is 'TYRANNY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tyranny that I've seen before include "Cruel and arbitrary rule" , "Dominance through threat of punishment and violence" , "Excessive use of power" , "Reign of terror" , "Oppressive government" .)
