Resolution strangely met no need outside university (10)
I believe the answer is:
denouement
'resolution' is the definition.
(denouement is a kind of resolution)
'strangely met no need outside university' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'no' could be 'o' (resembles 0 - 'no' can mean 'zero') and 'o' is present in the answer.
'university' could be 'u' and 'u' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'need' is 'dene' which is within the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'ment' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for denouement that I've seen before include "Last part (of play, etc) in which all is explained" , "plot must be finished" , "Final part of play/film/etc" , "Ending of film" , "close of play?" .)
