Clip of One Direction, Queen, Free starting concert with energy (8)
I believe the answer is:
sequence
'clip' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'one direction queen free starting concert with energy' is the wordplay.
'one direction' becomes 's' (S is an example**).
'free' is an anagram indicator.
'starting' says to take the initial letters.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2).
The initial letter of 'concert' is 'c'.
'queen' with letters rearranged gives 'equen'.
's'+'equen'+'c'+'e'='SEQUENCE'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sequence that I've seen before include "Order of succession; hymn sung after gradual" , "Run" , "Ordered series" , "Serial arrangement following a logical order or recurrent pattern" , "Succession of ordered things" .)
