Scent country has shackled newspaper (9)
I believe the answer is:
fragrance
'scent' is the definition.
(I know that scent can be written as fragrance)
'country has shackled newspaper' is the wordplay.
'country' becomes 'france' (France is an example).
'has shackled' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are shackled up).
'newspaper' becomes 'rag' (informal term for a newspaper).
'france' enclosing 'rag' is 'FRAGRANCE'.
(Other definitions for fragrance that I've seen before include "Pleasant aroma as of flower" , "Perfume" , "Pleasant smell" , "Cologne, perhaps" , "Sweet smell" .)
