Rubbish English landowner ignoring Irish like Hyde? (9)
I believe the answer is:
grotesque
'like hyde?' is the definition.
(Mr Hyde is the monstrous alter-ego of Dr Jekyll)
'rubbish english landowner ignoring irish' is the wordplay.
'rubbish' becomes 'grot' (I've seen this before).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'landowner' becomes 'squire' (historical term).
'ignoring' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'irish' becomes 'IR' (abbreviation).
'squire' with 'ir' taken out is 'sque'.
'grot'+'e'+'sque'='GROTESQUE'
(Other definitions for grotesque that I've seen before include "Fantastically hideous" , "Comically ugly" , "Bizarre; monstrous" , "Bizarre and disfigured - preposterous" , "Outlandish" .)
