Sound off, given rum in outskirts of Ipswich (7)
I believe the answer is:
inveigh
'sound off' is the definition.
(inveighing is a kind of sounding off)
'given rum in outskirts of ipswich' is the wordplay.
'rum' indicates an anagram (rum can mean strange or unusual).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'outskirts of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only letters on the outskirts).
'ipswich' with its centre removed is 'ih'.
'given' with letters rearranged gives 'nveig'.
'nveig' placed inside 'ih' is 'INVEIGH'.
(Other definitions for inveigh that I've seen before include "Complain about - abuse" , "Revile, rail" , "Verbally attack, rail" , "Fulminate" , "Rail bitterly" .)
