Wild, as is to be expected (7)
I believe the answer is:
natural
This clue is a double definition.
'wild' is the first definition.
('natural' can be a synonym of 'wild')
'as is to be expected' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for natural that I've seen before include "Genuine, unaffected" , "(In music) neither sharp nor flat" , "Normal; not man-made" , "Innate - neither flat nor sharp" , "in a pack, not wild?" .)
