British fellow receiving article in the new inheritance (10)
I believe the answer is:
bequeathal
'inheritance' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'british fellow receiving article in the new' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'british' could be 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC') and 'b' is located in the answer.
'fellow' could be 'al' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'al' is present in the answer.
'article' could be 'a' (the indefinite article in English) and 'a' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'the' is 'eth' which is present in the left over letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
