'bold' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'old chancellor whose name has no l' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'name' could be 'dari' and 'dari' is found within the answer.
'no' could be 'n' (common abbreviation) and 'n' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'g' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.
