Wildly chants part of the refrain (6)
I believe the answer is:
snatch
'part of the refrain' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'wildly chants' is the wordplay.
'wildly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'chants' anagrammed gives 'SNATCH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snatch that I've seen before include "heist" , "bag" , "Few bars of music - grab" , "Bit of a song" , "Snippet" .)
