Spades seized by warehouse chief who's disliked (6)
I believe the answer is:
despot
'chief who's disliked' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'spades seized by warehouse' is the wordplay.
'spades' becomes 's' (abbreviation in card games).
'seized by' indicates putting letters inside.
'warehouse' becomes 'depot' (I've seen this before).
's' placed into 'depot' is 'DESPOT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for despot that I've seen before include "nasty ruler?" , "Person with more than enough power" , "Arbitrary ruler" , "Gaddafi, say" , "Absolute ruler, tyrant" .)
