Rage following promotion (3)
I believe the answer is:
fad
'rage' is the definition.
('fad' can be a synonym of 'rage')
'following promotion' is the wordplay.
'following' becomes 'f' (used when citing page numbers etc).
'promotion' becomes 'ad' (ad is a kind of promotion).
'f'+'ad'='FAD'
(Other definitions for fad that I've seen before include "Affectation" , "A craze, usually passing" , "Passing vogue or fashion" , "Passionate interest" , "Short-lived craze" .)
