With several speeches liar initially gaoled until tortured (10)
I believe the answer is:
trilingual
'with several speeches liar initially gaoled until tortured' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'liar initially gaoled until tortured' is the wordplay.
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
'tortured' indicates an anagram.
The initial letter of 'gaoled' is 'g'.
'liar'+'g'+'until'='liarguntil'
'liarguntil' anagrammed gives 'TRILINGUAL'.
