Alone and single, blasted about love (8)
I believe the answer is:
isolated
'alone' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'single blasted about love' is the wordplay.
'single' becomes 'I' (I as in one).
'blasted' becomes 'slated' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'slated' going around 'o' is 'solated'.
'i'+'solated'='ISOLATED'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for isolated that I've seen before include "Quarantined, alone" , "Remote; lonely" , "Segregated" , "Idols ate (anag.)" , "Set apart, quarantined" .)
