There's nothing to restrict the view (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opinion

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

'the view' is the definition.
('opinion' can be a synonym of 'view')

'there's nothing to restrict' is the wordplay.
'there's nothing' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to restrict' becomes 'pinion' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'pinion'='OPINION'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for opinion that I've seen before include "Unproved belief or view" , "Personal belief or judgment" , "Viewpoint" , "Standpoint" , "A view held, what one thinks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
