Many set free in this? (7)
I believe the answer is:
amnesty
'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'many set free' is the wordplay.
'free' indicates an anagram.
'many'+'set'='manyset'
'manyset' is an anagram of 'AMNESTY'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amnesty that I've seen before include "Organisation concerned with people unjustly imprisoned" , "Period of forgiveness for infractions" , "Men stay (anag.)" , "General pardon, usually political" , "Dispensation" .)
