American beat CID moving to reject rule (8)
I believe the answer is:
abdicate
'reject rule' is the definition.
'abdicate' can be an answer for 'reject' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'rule' bit.
'american beat cid moving' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'a' (common abbreviation - e.g. in organisation names).
'moving' indicates an anagram.
'beat'+'cid'='beatcid'
'beatcid' is an anagram of 'bdicate'.
'a'+'bdicate'='ABDICATE'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abdicate that I've seen before include "Renounce one's throne" , "Leave throne" , "step down" , "Abandon" , "Renounce position or power" .)
