King literarily requiring new master (5)
I believe the answer is:
learn
'new master' is the definition.
'learn' can be an answer for 'master' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'new' bit.
'king literarily' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'lear' (I've seen this before).
'literarily' becomes 'n' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'lear'+'n'='LEARN'
'requiring' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for learn that I've seen before include "Ascertain" , "teach illiterate" , "Study - find out" , "Discover - study" , "Acquire 28 across" .)
