No cry out for friend (5)
I believe the answer is:
crony
'friend' is the definition.
(crony is a kind of friend)
'no cry out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'no'+'cry'='nocry'
'nocry' is an anagram of 'CRONY'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for crony that I've seen before include "China" , "Intimate companion" , "mate" , "Corny (anag.)" , "Sidekick" .)
