Making a scene, in which spirits might be produced (6)
I believe the answer is:
seance
'in which spirits might be produced' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'making a scene' is the wordplay.
'making' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'scene'='ascene'
'ascene' is an anagram of 'SEANCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seance that I've seen before include "Meeting in which medium attempts to contact the dead" , "Meeting conducted by medium" , "Spiritualist's sitting" , "spiritual guidance" , "Spirit-raising" .)
