Harry ensured Con was able to speak freely (10)

I believe the answer is:

uncensored

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

'able to speak freely' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'harry ensured con' is the wordplay.
'harry' indicates an anagram (harry can mean to attack or spoil).
'ensured'+'con'='ensuredcon'
'ensuredcon' anagrammed gives 'UNCENSORED'.

'was' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uncensored that I've seen before include "Complete" , "Having no blue pencil applied" , "Not blue-pencilled" , "As British theatre after 1968" , "adults?" .)
