Made a fuss and responded, promoting head of chambers (7)
I believe the answer is:
created
'made a fuss' is the definition.
(create can mean to create a scene or fuss)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for created that I've seen before include "Devised" , "Made, generated" , "Brought into existence" , "Made a fuss" , "Originated" .)
