'four-legged form' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'of hornet?' is the wordplay.
'of' is an anagram indicator (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'hornet' is an anagram of 'THRONE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for throne that I've seen before include "Seat of authority" , "Chair of the monarch" , "heads" , "Monarch's seat" , "Seat of monarch" .)
