Corrupt doctrine overshadows current administration (9)
I believe the answer is:
direction
'administration' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'corrupt doctrine overshadows current' is the wordplay.
'corrupt' indicates anagramming the letters.
'overshadows' is an insertion indicator (the inserted letter is smothered or overshadowed).
'current' becomes 'i' (symbol for electric current).
'doctrine' with letters rearranged gives 'drection'.
'drection' going around 'i' is 'DIRECTION'.
(Other definitions for direction that I've seen before include "The way in which something is moving" , "Course along which something moves" , "Guidance" , "Tenor" , "Management" .)
