'a gnat buzzing round everybody and showing no fear' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'gnat buzzing round everybody and showing no fear' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'everybody' could be 'all' (I've seen this before) and 'all' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'gnat' is 'gant' which is within the left over letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
