Odd lie is shamelessly revered (8)
I believe the answer is:
idolised
'odd lie is shamelessly revered' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'odd lie is shamelessly' is the wordplay.
'shamelessly' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'odd'+'lie'+'is'='oddlieis'
'oddlieis' is an anagram of 'IDOLISED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for idolised that I've seen before include "put on a pedestal" , "Hero-worshipped" , "placed on a pedestal" , "Revered, greatly loved" , "Worshipped like graven image" .)
