Firm keeping personnel team majestically seated? (7)
I believe the answer is:
throned
'team majestically seated?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'firm keeping personnel' is the wordplay.
'firm' becomes 'toned' (I've seen this before).
'keeping' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters kept inside).
'personnel' becomes 'HR' (Human Resources).
'toned' going around 'hr' is 'THRONED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for throned that I've seen before include "in position of power" , "Highly exalted" , "high chair" , "sitting majestically" , "given power base" .)
