It may end with explosion (8)
I believe the answer is:
dynamite
'it may end with explosion' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'it may end with explosion' is the wordplay.
'with explosion' indicates anagramming the letters.
'it'+'may'+'end'='itmayend'
'itmayend' is an anagram of 'DYNAMITE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dynamite that I've seen before include "Dainty me could be explosive" , "Fantastic" , "Spectacular (or dangerous) person (or thing)" , "Powerful explosive" , "Jelly" .)
