attachment

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fitting' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'that men act foolishly' is the wordplay.
'foolishly' is an anagram indicator.
'that'+'men'+'act'='thatmenact'
'thatmenact' with letters rearranged gives 'ATTACHMENT'.

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for attachment that I've seen before include "Affinity" , "Fond regard" , "communicated via e-mail" , "Document with e-mail" , "what might accompany 50 [EMAIL]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
