Behaves imperiously: might be resolved to modernise (9)
I believe the answer is:
domineers
'behaves imperiously might' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'resolved to modernise' is the wordplay.
'resolved' is an anagram indicator.
'modernise' anagrammed gives 'DOMINEERS'.
'be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for domineers that I've seen is " Bullies".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
