Look over confession of someone crying aloud (7)
I believe the answer is:
eyeball
'look' is the definition.
(I know that eyeball is a kind of look)
'over confession of someone crying aloud' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'over' could be 'all' (synonyms) and 'all' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eyeball that I've seen before include "not exact" , "" - to - " = in close confrontation" , "Ocular orb" , "Optical sphere within lids" , "Watch" .)
