Without restrictions of time, lad from south calls (2,7)
I believe the answer is:
no strings
'without restrictions' is the definition.
'time lad from south calls' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't'.
'lad' becomes 'son'.
'from south' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'calls' becomes 'rings' ('ring' can be a synonym of 'call'**).
't'+'son'='tson'
'tson' in reverse letter order is 'nost'.
'nost'+'rings'='NO STRINGS'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for no strings that I've seen before include "without any conditions" , "Without limitations" .)
