'stance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'almost similar to unruly mob' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'similar' becomes 'akin' (similar in meaning).
'to unruly' indicates an anagram.
'akin' with its last letter taken off is 'aki'.
'mob' anagrammed gives 'mbo'.
'aki'+'mbo'='AKIMBO'

'taken' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
