Neckwear twisted suppressing a brawl (6)
I believe the answer is:
fracas
'brawl' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fracas that I've seen before include "Free-for-all" , "Noisy quarrel or disturbance" , "Melee" , "Fight" , "Noisy altercation" .)
