Rode madly to the air terminal to get a bit of business (5)
I believe the answer is:
order
'a bit of business' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'rode madly to the air terminal' is the wordplay.
'madly' indicates an anagram.
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'terminal' says to take the final letters (terminal refers to the end).
The final letter of 'air' is 'r'.
'rode' with letters rearranged gives 'orde'.
'orde'+'r'='ORDER'
'to get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for order that I've seen before include "Arrange < company" , "Direction; class; arrange" , "Decree" , "Command; neatness" , "plan to reorganise Europe with 1a [NEW]" .)
