Pain is in fine detail (8)
I believe the answer is:
nuisance
'pain' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'is in fine detail' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'fine detail' becomes 'nuance' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is' going within 'nuance' is 'NUISANCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nuisance that I've seen before include "Annoying or troublesome person or thing" , "Bothersome annoying person" , "Tiresome person or event" , "Annoying person/thing" , "Bothersome pest" .)
