Openly ended final judgment disheartened Larry (7)
I believe the answer is:
overtly
'openly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ended final judgment disheartened larry' is the wordplay.
'ended' becomes 'over' (synonyms).
'final' says to take the final letters.
'disheartened' means to remove the middle letters.
'larry' with its middle taken out is 'ly'.
The final letter of 'judgment' is 't'.
'over'+'t'+'ly'='OVERTLY'
(Other definitions for overtly that I've seen before include "in the public eye" , "public fashion" , "In an open manner" , "Obviously" , "openly on view" .)
