Easily win a fight in pedestrian appearance (9)

I believe the answer is:

walkabout

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pedestrian appearance' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'easily win a fight in' is the wordplay.
'easily' becomes 'alka' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'win' becomes 'w' (abbreviation in sport).
'a fight' becomes 'bout' (as in a bout in boxing).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'w'+'bout'='wbout'
'alka' inserted into 'wbout' is 'WALKABOUT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for walkabout that I've seen before include "to stretch his legs" , "Period of wandering by Australian aboriginal" , "Informal perambulation" , "Informal stroll" , "opportunity to meet people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
