Considerable trouble composing trios (5)
I believe the answer is:
riots
'considerable trouble composing trios' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'composing trios' is the wordplay.
'composing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'trios' with letters rearranged gives 'RIOTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for riots that I've seen before include "Public disturbances" , "Protests" , "Acts of violence by unruly mobs" , "Violent disturbances" , "Wild disturbances by crowds" .)
