I thought about that, but can you elucidate the answer from the clue as it is too vague.

May I? If this is right, it's a poor clue, IMO -

Sadist - i (one, in) 'sad' (heavy) + 'st(one)' (weight) (?)

Apologies, I was on the phone...

I should have added - 'heavy / weight' (= 'division' [of the word])

Iv'e puzzled over that one since it was posted yesterday Lie-In-King and came to the same conclusion but didn't post it as, I agree with you, it was a very poor clue and I just couldn't see it justified.
