Dictator’s sinister observation post? (5)
I believe the answer is:
eyrie
This clue could be a double definition.
'dictator's' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'sinister observation post?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eyrie that I've seen before include "elevated position" , "Bird's nest" , "point of observation" , "High spot" , "Bird of prey's high nest" .)
