Elevated symbols of a wild gale in turbulent air? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regalia

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

'elevated symbols of' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a wild gale in turbulent air?' is the wordplay.
'a wild' is an anagram indicator.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'turbulent' indicates anagramming the letters.
'gale' is an anagram of 'egal'.
'air' anagrammed gives 'ria'.
'egal' inserted inside 'ria' is 'REGALIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for regalia that I've seen before include "Paraphernalia indicative of high office" , "Ceremonial trimmings of high office" , "Array" , "Trappings of royalty" , "Crown and associated pieces" .)
