Merciless dynasty? (4)
I believe the answer is:
ming
This clue might be a double definition.
'merciless' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'dynasty?' is the second definition.
(I know that Ming is a type of dynasty)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ming that I've seen before include "Chinese dynasty and Roscommon TD" , "Chinese dynasty - Flash Gordon's foe" , "Chinese dynasty noted for procelain" , "Mediaeval Chinese dynasty, ware" , "Chinese dynasty noted for porcelain" .)
