Research point about involving dance (13)
I believe the answer is:
terpsichorean
'dance' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'research point about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'research'+'point'='researchpoint'
'researchpoint' is an anagram of 'TERPSICHOREAN'.
'involving' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for terpsichorean that I've seen before include "Relating to dancing" , "become a dancer" , "Related to dancing - chain store rep (anag)" , "of dance numbers" .)
