Import of poor gin condemned (7)
I believe the answer is:
meaning
'import' is the definition.
(I know that import can be written as meaning)
'poor gin condemned' is the wordplay.
'poor' becomes 'mean' (similar in meaning).
'condemned' indicates anagramming the letters.
'gin' anagrammed gives 'ing'.
'mean'+'ing'='MEANING'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for meaning that I've seen before include "Gist" , "Drift" , "Significance" , "Import; purpose" , "Purpose, intent" .)
