I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

(Other definitions for pasha that I've seen before include "Muslim dignitary" , "Civil or military authority in Turkey or Egypt" , "High ranking Turkish official or officer" , "High-ranking Turk" , "Former provincial governor in Egypt" .)
