Fan wobbled badly in alternating motion (3,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
ebb and flow
'alternating motion' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'fan wobbled badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator (letters in the wrong order).
'fan'+'wobbled'='fanwobbled'
'fanwobbled' with letters rearranged gives 'EBB AND FLOW'.
'in' acts as a link.
