lounge

'slump' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'sudden movement grasping oxygen' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'oxygen' could be 'o' (atomic symbol for oxygen) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'movement' could be 'lunge' (lunge is a kind of movement) and 'lunge' is present in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'from' acts as a link.
