Put out some faint indication of political intent (9)

I believe the answer is:

manifesto

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'some faint indication of political intent' is the wordplay.
'some faint' anagrams to 'MANIFESTO'.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'out' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for manifesto that I've seen before include "Public policy declaration" , "See 6" , "Statement of beliefs" , "Public declaration of intent" , "electoral programme" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
