Clearly making a drama out of nothing, possibly (7)
I believe the answer is:
plainly
'clearly' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'a drama out of nothing possibly' is the wordplay.
'a drama' becomes 'play' (synonyms).
'out of' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'out' mean this).
'nothing possibly' becomes 'inly' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'play' with its final letter taken off is 'pla'.
'pla'+'inly'='PLAINLY'
'making' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plainly that I've seen before include "Simply" , "Clearly" , "obviously" , "... without embellishment" , "In unconcealed fashion" .)
