Clout (8)
'clout' is the definition.
(I know that clout can be written as biff)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for biff that I've seen before include "strike" , "Punch" , "Hard blow with fist" .)
'clout' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Economic clout ' mean 'leverage' so perhaps 'clout' could also mean 'leverage')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for leverage that I've seen before include "What crowbar provides" , "Power -- advantage" , "financial advantage" , "Power to act effectively" , "Power to influence" .)
