Note: idiot seen around endless affray is unidentified (8)
I believe the answer is:
nameless
'unidentified' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'note idiot seen around endless affray' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'n' (abbreviation).
'idiot' becomes 'ass' (both can mean a stupid person).
'seen around' indicates putting letters inside.
'endless affray' becomes 'mele' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ass' placed around 'mele' is 'ameless'.
'n'+'ameless'='NAMELESS'
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nameless that I've seen before include "Anonymous; unspeakable" , "Salesmen lacking identity" , "Difficult to describe" , "Too unpleasant" , "Lacking means of identification" .)
