Beat time with spirit and anger (7)
I believe the answer is:
tantrum
'anger' is the definition.
(tantrum is a kind of anger)
'beat time with spirit' is the wordplay.
'beat' becomes 'tan' (I've seen this before**).
'time' becomes 't'.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'spirit' becomes 'rum' (I've seen this before).
'tan'+'t'+'rum'='TANTRUM'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for tantrum that I've seen before include "throwing this?" , "Paddy" , "Burst of temper" , "Childish outbreak of temper" , "fit of bad temper" .)
