I start to cry, overwhelmed by thrashing saviour suffered for another (9)
I believe the answer is:
vicarious
'saviour suffered for another' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'i start to cry overwhelmed by thrashing' is the wordplay.
'start to' says to take the initial letters.
'overwhelmed by' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters get absorbed or overwhelmed).
'thrashing' becomes 'various' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The initial letter of 'cry' is 'c'.
'i'+'c'='ic'
'ic' placed into 'various' is 'VICARIOUS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vicarious that I've seen before include "Acting for another" , "Standing in for another" , "Indirect" , "Acting for others" , "Replacing another" .)
