Lord Erskine's directive (5)
I believe the answer is:
order
'directive' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'lord erskine's' is the wordplay.
'ORDER' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for order that I've seen before include "Right arrangement" , "Tidiness - that's a command" , "Command; neatness" , "Tidy state - that's a command" , "Command; sequence" .)
