Make the tyrant less rash? (6)
I believe the answer is:
despot
This clue might be a double definition.
'make the tyrant' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'less rash?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for despot that I've seen before include "One exploiting rule" , "Arbitrary ruler" , "Cruel and oppressive dictator" , "monster?" , "Tyrant, slave driver" .)
