Ends let out and pressed close (7)
I believe the answer is:
nestled
'pressed close' is the definition.
(to nestle is to press close together)
'ends let out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'ends'+'let'='endslet'
'endslet' anagrammed gives 'NESTLED'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for nestled that I've seen before include "Lay snugly" , "Curled up" , "Huddled together" , "get comfortably ensconced" , "Settled comfortably, against, in something" .)
