'was it wildly waspish?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'was it wildly' is the wordplay.
'wildly' indicates an anagram.
'was'+'it'='wasit'
'wasit' with letters rearranged gives 'WAIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for waist that I've seen before include "Narrow part of body" , "Band may go round here" , "Middle of trunk" , "Midriff" , "Central part of body" .)
