See grim chaos under dictatorships, say (7)
I believe the answer is:
regimes
'see grim chaos under dictatorships say' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'see grim chaos' is the wordplay.
'chaos' indicates an anagram.
'see'+'grim'='seegrim'
'seegrim' is an anagram of 'REGIMES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for regimes that I've seen before include "Systems of government or courses of treatment" , "Governments in power" , "rules" .)
