Inspection makes us very put out (6)
I believe the answer is:
survey
'inspection' is the definition.
(survey is a kind of inspection)
'makes us very put out' is the wordplay.
'makes' indicates an anagram.
'put out' is an anagram indicator.
'us' is an anagram of 'su'.
'very' anagrammed gives 'rvey'.
'su'+'rvey'='SURVEY'
(Other definitions for survey that I've seen before include "Scan or inspect" , "Investigation - inspection" , "Appraisal, critical inspectation" , "Scan and appraise" , "Overview" .)
