Tentatively propose sin as a tyrant's thing (10)
I believe the answer is:
oppression
'a tyrant's thing' is the definition.
(a tyrant oppresses people)
'tentatively propose sin' is the wordplay.
'tentatively' is an anagram indicator.
'propose'+'sin'='proposesin'
'proposesin' anagrammed gives 'OPPRESSION'.
'as' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
