Free from sailor's love entanglement (7)
I believe the answer is:
absolve
'free' is the definition.
(to absolve is to free or spare from blame)
'sailor's love entanglement' is the wordplay.
'sailor's' becomes 'ab's' (abbreviation for able seaman).
'entanglement' is an anagram indicator.
'love' anagrammed gives 'olve'.
'abs'+'olve'='ABSOLVE'
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for absolve that I've seen before include "Forgive sins" , "Give pardon" , "Lob vase (anag.)" , "Grant remission of sins" , "Declare to be free from blame" .)
