Crossword Genius

Temper regularly displayed in search for camp (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hutment

'camp' is the definition.
(hutment is a kind of camp)

'temper regularly displayed in search' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'displayed in' is an insertion indicator.
'search' becomes 'hunt' ('hunt' can be a synonym of 'search'**).
The alternating letters of 'temper' are 'tme'.
'tme' put inside 'hunt' is 'HUTMENT'.

'for' is the link.
