'this' is the definition.
(this is a crossword puzzle!)

'angry argument over focus of freddie fox' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'angry' could be 'cross' (cross can mean annoyed or angry) and 'cross' is found within the answer.
'over' could be 'o' (cricket abbreviation) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'fox' could be 'puzzle' (synonyms) and 'puzzle' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
