Unqualified, outright (8)
I believe the answer is:
absolute
This clue is a double definition.
'unqualified' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)
'outright' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for absolute that I've seen before include "Total; unqualified" , "Free from limits, power perhaps" , "Total or final" , "Perfect, complete, pure" , "Unconditional, downright," .)
