Wild hairstyle, with length trimmed, producing emotional outburst (8)
I believe the answer is:
hysteria
'emotional outburst' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hysteria that I've seen before include "Overemotional state" , "Is hearty about losing the plot" , "emotional meltdown" , "display of wild emotion" , "Frenzied emotional state" .)
