Unlimited short article reprinted and inflated (10)
I believe the answer is:
rhetorical
'inflated' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'unlimited short article reprinted' is the wordplay.
'unlimited' says to take the centre (discard the edges or 'limits' of the word).
'reprinted' is an anagram indicator.
The centre of 'short' is 'hor'.
'hor'+'article'='horarticle'
'horarticle' is an anagram of 'RHETORICAL'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for rhetorical that I've seen before include "Relating to persuasive speaking" , "Over-elaborate in style" , "manner of speaking" , "needing no response" , "using words extravagantly" .)
