Absolute timing a duet represented (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unmitigated

'absolute' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'timing a duet represented' is the wordplay.
'represented' indicates an anagram.
'timing'+'a'+'duet'='timingaduet'
'timingaduet' is an anagram of 'UNMITIGATED'.

(Other definitions for unmitigated that I've seen before include "Absolute, unqualified" , "Utter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
