Possibly a scene of a spirited comeback (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seance

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a spirited comeback' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'possibly a scene' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'scene'='ascene'
'ascene' is an anagram of 'SEANCE'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seance that I've seen before include "Spiritualist meeting to contact the dead" , "Meeting in which medium attempts to contact the dead" , "Spirit meeting" , "Medium's session" , "Meeting seeking to contact the dead" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
