Treated rage by recording gorilla, for example (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
great ape
'gorilla for example' is the definition.
(gorilla is a kind of great ape)
'treated rage by recording' is the wordplay.
'treated' indicates an anagram.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'recording' becomes 'tape' (tape is a kind of recording).
'rage' anagrammed gives 'grea'.
'grea'+'tape'='GREAT APE'
(Other definitions for great ape that I've seen before include "Close relative to humans" , "orang-utan, for example" , "Wild animal" , "Chimp perhaps" , "Gorilla, perhaps" .)
