'some light obtained after a very loud brawl' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'after a very loud brawl' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'very loud' becomes 'f' (short for forte - 'loud' in music. I am not sure about the 'very' bit.).
'brawl' becomes 'fray' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'f' is 'af'.
'af'+'fray'='AFFRAY'

Can you help me to learn more?
