Hidings given out for party (7)

I believe the answer is:

shindig

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for party' is the definition.
(shindig is a kind of party)

'hidings given out' is the wordplay.
'hidings' anagrams to 'SHINDIG'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shindig that I've seen before include "wild party" , "Bash" , "commotion" , "Large, lively party" , "Hidings (anag) - party" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
