Cleared off, say (7)
I believe the answer is:
declare
'say' is the definition.
(I know this)
'cleared off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cleared' is an anagram of 'DECLARE'.
(Other definitions for declare that I've seen before include "Profess" , "Make clearly known" , "say" , "Announce; end innings" , "Proclaim" .)
