'fielding error' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'public disagreement about henry' is the wordplay.
'public' becomes 'overt' (both can mean well-known or unconcealed).
'disagreement' becomes 'row' (row is a kind of disagreement).
'about' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'henry' becomes 'H' (symbol for the unit of electrical inductance).
'row' after 'h' is 'hrow'.
'overt'+'hrow'='OVERTHROW'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overthrow that I've seen before include "Bring extra" , "caused discomfiture" , "Ruin" , "Remove forcibly from power" , "Unseat" .)
