What may come from the dictator? (5)
I believe the answer is:
edict
'what may come' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'from the dictator?' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'EDICT' is hidden within 'the dictator'.
(Other definitions for edict that I've seen before include "Regulation" , "Official order" , "Injunction" , "Cited an official proclamation" , "Declaration" .)
