'this tern' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'hotter fees transfer' is the wordplay.
'transfer' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'transferring' mean this).
'hotter'+'fees'='hotterfees'
'hotterfees' is an anagram of 'SET OF THREE'.

'for' acts as a link.
