In a frenzy for the start of the day, all right (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amok

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

'in a frenzy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the start of the day all right' is the wordplay.
'the start of the day' becomes 'am' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'all right' becomes 'ok' ('ok' can be a synonym of 'all right').
'am'+'ok'='AMOK'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amok that I've seen before include "Uncontrolled or murderous way to run!" , "'Wildly, without self-control (4)'" , "Must run it" , "Run thus to run wildly about" , "(Run) wild, out of control" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
