He favours dictation above all his subjects (8)
I believe the answer is:
autocrat
This clue might be a double definition.
'he' is the first definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'favours dictation above all his subjects' is the second definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for autocrat that I've seen before include "Dictatorial person" , "Actuator (anag) - dictator" , "Dictatorial type" , "Despotic character" , "All-powerful ruler" .)
