Complete louts on the rampage in Lincoln? (8)
I believe the answer is:
absolute
'complete' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'louts on the rampage in lincoln' is the wordplay.
'on the rampage' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'lincoln' becomes 'abe' (I've seen this in another clue).
'louts' is an anagram of 'solut'.
'solut' inserted within 'abe' is 'ABSOLUTE'.
(Other definitions for absolute that I've seen before include "comprehensive?" , "Total, utter" , "Sheer, utter or not limited" , "Free from limits, power perhaps" , "Complete, full" .)
