Viola gets upset a lot (4)
I believe the answer is:
alto
'viola' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'upset a lot' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'lot'='alot'
'alot' is an anagram of 'ALTO'.
'gets' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alto that I've seen before include "Second of four parts (in singing)" , "Highest male voice: lowest female voice" , "Singing range" , "someone to sing" , "The highest adult male singing-voice" .)
