century

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'collection of one hundred' is the definition.
'century' can be an answer for 'hundred' (synonyms). I'm not certain of the 'collection of one' bit.

'clamour to include lively tune' is the wordplay.
'clamour' becomes 'cry' (clamour can mean to cry or yell).
'to include' indicates putting letters inside.
'lively' is an anagram indicator (letters get livened up or moved around).
'tune' is an anagram of 'entu'.
'cry' going around 'entu' is 'CENTURY'.

'in' acts as a link.
