'put words in the air' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'terribly wet and risky' is the wordplay.
'terribly' is an anagram indicator.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'wet' put after 'risky' is 'riskywet'.
'riskywet' anagrammed gives 'SKYWRITE'.

'to' acts as a link.
