Mixture of male impetuosity and half-cut rage (7)
I believe the answer is:
melange
'mixture' is the definition.
(I know that melange is a type of mixture)
'male impetuosity and half-cut rage' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'impetuosity' becomes 'elan' (I've seen this before).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'half cut' indicates taking half.
'rage' with half the letters taken is 'ge'.
'm'+'elan'+'ge'='MELANGE'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for melange that I've seen before include "Medley" , "Confusion" , "A French blend or mixture" , "mixed collection" , "A motley assortment of things" .)
