Wild romp with earl, which has bite (8)
I believe the answer is:
premolar
'has bite' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'wild romp with earl' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'romp'+'earl'='rompearl'
'rompearl' with letters rearranged gives 'PREMOLAR'.
'which' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for premolar that I've seen before include "Type of tooth" , "Tooth -- real romp (anag)" , "Grinder" .)
