A fine figurehead ends oddly insulted (9)
I believe the answer is:
affronted
'insulted' is the definition.
('affront' can be a synonym of 'insult')
'a fine figurehead ends oddly' is the wordplay.
'a fine' becomes 'af' (I've seen this in other clues).
'figurehead' becomes 'front' ('front' can be a synonym of 'figurehead').
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters.
The alternating letters of 'ends' are 'ed'.
'af'+'front'+'ed'='AFFRONTED'
(Other definitions for affronted that I've seen before include "Offended" , "outraged" , "Caused offence" , "Insulted" .)
