Late find wildly exaggerated (8)
I believe the answer is:
inflated
'exaggerated' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'late find wildly' is the wordplay.
'wildly' indicates an anagram.
'late'+'find'='latefind'
'latefind' with letters rearranged gives 'INFLATED'.
(Other definitions for inflated that I've seen before include "Flan diet (anag.)" , "Extravagant" , "Exaggerated (and liable to 5?)" , "Filled with air or gas to distend" , "Pompous" .)
