Digs records filled with ultimately good spirit (8)
I believe the answer is:
lodgings
'digs' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'records filled with ultimately good spirit' is the wordplay.
'records' becomes 'logs' (logging is a kind of recording).
'filled with' indicates putting letters inside.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
'spirit' becomes 'gin' (alcoholic spirit).
The final letter of 'good' is 'd'.
'd'+'gin'='dgin'
'logs' enclosing 'dgin' is 'LODGINGS'.
(Other definitions for lodgings that I've seen before include "Digs" , "Rented accommodation for godlings" , "Rented rooms in another's house" .)
