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

'fusion' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'rock singer's over aged' is the wordplay.
'rock' indicates anagramming the letters (the solver must 'rock' the letters around).
'over' is an insertion indicator.
'aged' becomes 'old' (similar in meaning).
'singer' with letters rearranged gives 'sering'.
'sering' placed around 'old' is 'SOLDERING'.

'making' is the link.
