Head of house seen as impartial and safe, somehow (13)
I believe the answer is:
paterfamilias
'head of house' is the definition.
'paterfamilias' can be an answer for 'head' (paterfamilias is a kind of head). I'm not sure about the 'of house' bit.
'impartial and safe somehow' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'impartial' put after 'safe' is 'safeimpartial'.
'safeimpartial' anagrammed gives 'PATERFAMILIAS'.
'seen as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paterfamilias that I've seen before include "boss" , "Father as head of the household" , "Male head of a household" , "Classically, the head of the household" .)
