Have a debt to those in power (3)
I believe the answer is:
owe
'have a debt to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'those in power' is the wordplay.
'OWE' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for owe that I've seen before include "Have a debt to (someone)" , "have favours to return" , "Have a duty to pay" , "overdrawn" , "Need to pay" .)
