Secret resolution to seize independent studio (6)
I believe the answer is:
hidden
'secret' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hidden that I've seen before include "Consealed or secret" , "Concealed, having been put away secretly" , "Concealed, recondite" , "Covert, obscured" , "behind closed doors" .)
