Victor abroad excitedly shows swagger (7)
I believe the answer is:
bravado
'swagger' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'victor abroad excitedly' is the wordplay.
'victor' becomes 'V' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'excitedly' is an anagram indicator.
'v'+'abroad'='vabroad'
'vabroad' is an anagram of 'BRAVADO'.
'shows' is the link.
(Other definitions for bravado that I've seen before include "Show of boldness to impress" , "A show of boldness, may be phoney" , "Swaggering show of boldness" , "Boastful threatening" , "Boastful swagger" .)
