Spectator 2578 Torture By Pabulum (The Final Straw... )

Hi there, I’ve got a full grid except for the unclueds which still have me flummoxed. A hint suggests that the “same word” is a 4-letter down answer, and I have a few unlueds that I’m not sure of:
1a BONES, 4a VENGEANCE, 41a FRAMEWORK, 42a CRANK
Am I on the right track? Thanks for guidance!

Tilly, if you google the headword + def, there is a very long list of the definitions

Thanks to both of you for sorting out my difficulties.
I thought I'd lost the plot.

On to the Christmas present list...:-)

A good idea Tilly to put it on your Christmas list. Fingers crossed the man in the red jacket brings you the book in the red jacket.

I think I have sussed out the 8 unclued words, i.e. the 8 possible meanings of the headword, and the rest of the grid except 5d: "Dated fashion of French fan (not English version) (6)". I have EN?A?? (final letter is T or L, I believe, as 22a could begin with either, though I'm favouring T. Any tips on parsing 5d please?

JayLogan

Just deduced 5: it's a French word for a fan without letters 'EV..' Thanks anyway. Anyone need help with any others?
