Possibly recaps on a predicament (6)
I believe the answer is:
scrape
'predicament' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'possibly recaps' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'recaps' is an anagram of 'SCRAPE'.
'on a' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for scrape that I've seen before include "hole" , "stroke of a violin" , "Slight skin abrasion" , "Play a violin badly" , "Take the surface off" .)
