Alone, I shiver from the action of the wind (6)
I believe the answer is:
eolian
'the action of the wind' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'alone i shiver' is the wordplay.
'shiver' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'shivering' mean this).
'alone'+'i'='alonei'
'alonei' is an anagram of 'EOLIAN'.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eolian that I've seen before include "Wind-borne (Amer.)" , "type of harp" .)
