Suggested the setter's allowed to seize power (8)
I believe the answer is:
implicit
'suggested' is the definition.
(implicit can mean implied or suggested)
'setter's allowed to seize power' is the wordplay.
'setter' becomes 'I' (the person who set this crossword).
'allowed' becomes 'licit' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'seize power' becomes 'mp' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'licit' put after 'mp' is 'mplicit'.
'i'+'mplicit'='IMPLICIT'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for implicit that I've seen before include "Inferred" , "Assumed, not spelled out" , "Absolute and unquestioning, as obedience should be" , "I clip Tim (anag.)" , "Taken for granted" .)
