Didn't side with anybody - didn't join in at all (4,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
took no part
'didn't' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'side with anybody didn't join in at all' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'side' could be 'r' (abbreviation for right) and 'r' is present in the answer.
'at' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
