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

'repent' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'day after rage' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'day' could be 'light' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'light' is present in the answer.
'rage' could be 'seethe' (I've seen this before) and 'seethe' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
