University dons plot against yours truly is inspired (6)
I believe the answer is:
imbued
'inspired' is the definition.
'university dons plot against yours truly is' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'u'.
'dons' indicates putting letters inside (don means to wear or put on).
'plot' becomes 'bed' (bed is a kind of plot).
'against' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'yours truly is' becomes 'im'.
'u' placed within 'bed' is 'bued'.
'bued' after 'im' is 'IMBUED'.
(Other definitions for imbued that I've seen before include "Soaked, saturated" , "Permeated (with)" , "Filled with feelings or qualities" , "Filled with certain feelings or opinions" , "Filled, with ideals say" .)
