Setting for public commotion (5)
I believe the answer is:
scene
I believe this is a double definition.
'setting' is the first definition.
(I know that setting can be written as scene)
'public commotion' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for scene that I've seen before include "site" , "Section of a stage work" , "Vista or stage setting" , "Subdivision of a drama" , "Part of Hamlet" .)
