Freed from awfully bad love triangles, at last (8)
I believe the answer is:
absolved
'freed' is the definition.
('absolve' can be a synonym of 'free')
'awfully bad love triangles at last' is the wordplay.
'awfully' indicates anagramming the letters.
'at last' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'triangles' is 's'.
'bad'+'love'+'s'='badloves'
'badloves' anagrammed gives 'ABSOLVED'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for absolved that I've seen before include "1 [LET OFF]" , "Declared free (from guilt)" , "Pronounced free from blame" , "Pardoned of sin" , "Discharged" .)
