Benedict Arnold's command (5)
I believe the answer is:
edict
'command' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'benedict arnold's' is the wordplay.
'EDICT' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edict that I've seen before include "Cited (anag) - proclamation" , "Proclamation, law" , "Cited an official proclamation" , "Injunction" , "An official command" .)
