Elevating pole tilts wildly (5)
I believe the answer is:
stilt
'elevating pole' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'tilts wildly' is the wordplay.
'wildly' indicates an anagram.
'tilts' is an anagram of 'STILT'.
(Other definitions for stilt that I've seen before include "Long-legged wader" , "Supporting column driven into the ground - wading bird" , "Aid for walking tall" , "Wading bird; post" , "Flier" .)
