Take this if put out (7)
I believe the answer is:
umbrage
'take this if put out' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for umbrage that I've seen before include "Indignation" , "Take this to be offended" , "Take this to show offence" , "Suspicion of injury" , "Offence, annoyance" .)
