Free from distress, father, getting out more? (8)
I believe the answer is:
painless
'free from distress' is the definition.
(without pain or distress)
'father getting out more?' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean dad or father).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'out more?' becomes 'inless'.
'pa'+'inless'='PAINLESS'
(Other definitions for painless that I've seen before include "Involving little effort or stress" , "Not causing discomfort" , "Not causing suffering, like spaniels" , "Needing little effort" , "Trouble free" .)
