Find the staff mind being involved in the game (9)
I believe the answer is:
badminton
'find' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'staff mind being involved in the game' is the wordplay.
'staff' becomes 'bat'.
'being involved' indicates an anagram (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'in the' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'game' becomes 'on' (both can mean willing).
'mind' is an anagram of 'dmin'.
'bat' placed around 'dmin' is 'badmint'.
'badmint'+'on'='BADMINTON'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for badminton that I've seen before include "Racquet sport" , "Game using shuttlecock" , "One sport" , "Racket game with shuttlecock" , "court action" .)
