About getting contract free (7)
I believe the answer is:
release
'free' is the definition.
(to release someone is to free them)
'about getting contract' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'contract' becomes 'lease' (leasing is a kind of contracting).
're'+'lease'='RELEASE'
(Other definitions for release that I've seen before include "put out" , "press announcement" , "Let go" , "Liberate" , "Prisoner eagerly awaits this" .)
