Freed from pride (3)
I believe the answer is:
rid
'freed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'from pride' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RID' can be found hidden inside 'pride'.
(Other definitions for rid that I've seen before include "Lose, shake off" , "Free, relieve" , "Free (someone of something unwanted)" , "Free, disencumber" , "Clear, remove" .)
