State outright (5)
I believe the answer is:
utter
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'state' is the first definition.
(both can mean to say)
'outright' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for utter that I've seen before include "(Of counterfeit money) put into circulation - say" , "Absolute - state" , "Complete madman" , "Downright" , "Express in words" .)
