Pardon received by supreme order (6)
I believe the answer is:
behest
'order' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'pardon received by supreme' is the wordplay.
'pardon' becomes 'he' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'received by' is an insertion indicator.
'supreme' becomes 'best' (I've seen this in another clue).
'he' put within 'best' is 'BEHEST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for behest that I've seen before include "Order" , "Command, bidding" , "(At someone's) command" , "Command - Thebes (anag)" .)
