Blair somehow seizing power over swinging state? (7)
I believe the answer is:
bipolar
'swinging state?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'blair somehow seizing power over' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'seizing' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are seized).
'power' becomes 'p' (symbol in physics).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'blair' is an anagram of 'bilar'.
'p'+'o'='po'
'bilar' enclosing 'po' is 'BIPOLAR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bipolar that I've seen before include "Involving manic episodes" , "Manic depressive" , "going to extremes" .)
