bully

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'fine' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'playground tyrant?' is the second definition.
'bully' can be an answer for 'tyrant?' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'playground' bit.

'for a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bully that I've seen before include "Browbeat" , "Beef cured or pickled in brine" , "Intimidate" , "One persecuting weaker person" , "Intimidating person" .)
