Insubordination certain, so fuss made (13)
I believe the answer is:
fractiousness
'insubordination' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'certain so fuss made' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates an anagram.
'certain'+'so'+'fuss'='certainsofuss'
'certainsofuss' with letters rearranged gives 'FRACTIOUSNESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for fractiousness that I've seen is " Irritability".)
