'something about the throat?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'local tenor struggling' is the wordplay.
'struggling' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters struggle or wriggle into a new form).
'local'+'tenor'='localtenor'
'localtenor' with letters rearranged gives 'ETON COLLAR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eton collar that I've seen before include "one assumed at school?" , "One would ring schoolboy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
