In a fight, you won't find me on the windy side! (5)
I believe the answer is:
melee
'find me on the windy side' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for melee that I've seen before include "Confused crowd" , "Confused conflict, affray" , "Rumpus" , "A confused fight or muddle" , "Noisy riotous fight" .)
