Hector to see to what I have with hesitation (8)
I believe the answer is:
domineer
'hector' is the definition.
(I know that domineer is a more specific form of the action hector)
'to what i have with hesitation' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'i' is within the answer.
'hesitation' could be 'er' (sound made while hesitating - um, er) and 'er' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to see' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for domineer that I've seen before include "Behave overbearingly" , "Tyrannise" , "Ore mined badly could tend to overbear" , "Behave imperiously" , "Exercise power over in an autocratic manner" .)
