Contrive to be bossy? (6)
I believe the answer is:
manage
'contrive' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for manage that I've seen before include "Handle and control the business" , "Run, administer" , "Supervise staff" , "Take responsibility for" , "Run (a football team)" .)
