One — and he spends freely — showing this? (4-10)
I believe the answer is:
open-handedness
'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'one and he spends freely' is the wordplay.
'freely' is an anagram indicator.
'one'+'and'+'he'+'spends'='oneandhespends'
'oneandhespends' anagrammed gives 'OPEN-HANDEDNESS'.
'showing' acts as a link.
(Another definition for open-handedness that I've seen is " Generosity".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
