Wives freely give their opinions (5)
I believe the answer is:
views
'opinions' is the definition.
('view' can be a synonym of 'opinion')
'wives freely give' is the wordplay.
'wives' anagrams to 'VIEWS'.
Though, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'their' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for views that I've seen before include "Wives (anag.)" , "Aspects, panoramas" , "Opinions, perspectives" , "Vistas; opinions" , "What pollsters seek" .)
