Emancipation (7)
I believe the answer is:
freedom
'emancipation' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for freedom that I've seen before include "outspokenness" , "Power to act without restraint" , "'. . . . . . .'s just another word for nothin' left to lose' (Kristofferson)" , "Lack of restrictions" , "Liberation" .)
