Utterly wretched aim to make love close to aga (6)
I believe the answer is:
abject
'utterly wretched' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abject that I've seen before include "Utterly wretched" , "Obsequious or grovelling, as apology may be" , "Lacking all pride, like a humble apology" , "Without pride or dignity, self-abasing" , "'Grovelling, apology say (6)'" .)
