out on a limb

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

'individually exposed' is the definition.
'out on a limb' can be an answer for 'exposed' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'individually' bit.

'lout in a mob rampaging' is the wordplay.
'rampaging' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lout'+'in'+'a'+'mob'='loutinamob'
'loutinamob' is an anagram of 'OUT ON A LIMB'.

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
