The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
The definition is Oval — something ellipse-shaped. Take the first letter of 'pitch' (just the P), throw it in with the letters of 'till ice', and then 'breaking up' and 'melted' are both telling you to jumble the whole lot together to get your answer.
