Send up Fife hooligan princess royal dominated (6)
I believe the answer is:
ridden
'dominated' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'send up fife hooligan princess royal' is the wordplay.
'send up' is a reversal indicator.
'fife hooligan' becomes 'ned' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'princess' becomes 'di' (Princess Diana).
'royal' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'ned'+'di'+'r'='neddir'
'neddir' in reverse letter order is 'RIDDEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ridden that I've seen before include "Oppressed" , "(Of a horse) sat upon" , "(Of horse) mounted" , "What horses often are" , "Used for transport" .)
