One's free, after reforming, as anticipated (8)
I believe the answer is:
foreseen
'anticipated' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'one's free after reforming' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'reforming' indicates an anagram.
'ones'+'free'='onesfree'
'onesfree' anagrammed gives 'FORESEEN'.
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for foreseen that I've seen before include "Anticipated" , "Expected" , "Predicted" , "Envisaged" , "No surprise" .)
