'film' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'duck eating seconds in scots town' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'seconds' could be 's' and 's' is found in the answer.
'town' could be 'ayr' (I have seen 'Scottish town ' mean 'ayr' so perhaps 'town' could also mean 'ayr') and 'ayr' is present in the leftover letters.
'duck' could be 'eider' (eider is a type of duck) and 'eider' is found in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
