Scandal revealed before right time (7)
I believe the answer is:
outrage
'scandal' is the definition.
('outrage' can be a synonym of 'scandal')
'revealed before right time' is the wordplay.
'revealed' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'before' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'time' becomes 'age' (age is a kind of time).
'out'+'r'+'age'='OUTRAGE'
(Other definitions for outrage that I've seen before include "Great anger" , "scandalous!" , "Shocked anger" , "Our gate (anag.)" , "Atrocious act" .)
