termagant

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

'scold' is the definition.
('termagant' can be a synonym of 'scold')

'manager when beaten in tt' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'manager' is 'ermagan' which is within the answer.
'tt' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
