I believe the answer is:

in full cry

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'express opinion forcefully and unabridged' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'weep' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'weep' could be 'cry' (synonyms) and 'cry' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'infull' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'then' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
