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

'wife given a strange' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'w'.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'given'+'a'='givena'
'givena' anagrammed gives 'eaving'.
'w'+'eaving'='WEAVING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for weaving that I've seen before include "Making fabric by interlacing threads" , "Making fabric or basketry" , "Using a loom" , "Making textiles" , "Making tapestry, etc" .)
