After confused agitation, sailor gets biscuit (8)
I believe the answer is:
flapjack
'biscuit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'after confused agitation sailor' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'confused agitation' becomes 'flap' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'confused' bit.**).
'sailor' becomes 'jack' (I've seen this before).
'flap' put next to 'jack' is 'FLAPJACK'.
'gets' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flapjack that I've seen before include "Oatcake" , "American twenty four Ac" , "One must chew over that" , "It's sweet" , "Delicacy made with oats and golden syrup" .)
