Unreasonably to thrust poets into the CID is simply tyrannic (8)
I believe the answer is:
despotic
'tyrannic' is the definition.
(I know that tyrannic can be written as despotic)
'unreasonably to thrust poets into the cid is simply' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'poets' is 'espot' which is within the answer.
an anagram of 'cid' is 'dic' which is within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for despotic that I've seen before include "Cruelly oppressive" , "domineering" , "'Cruel and oppressive, as a dictator (8)'" , "Authoritarian" , "Dictatorial" .)
