Absorbed, aim (6)
I believe the answer is:
intent
This clue is a double definition.
'absorbed' is the first definition.
('intent' can be a synonym of 'absorbed')
'aim' is the second definition.
('intent' can be a synonym of 'aim')
(Other definitions for intent that I've seen before include "With mind fixed on purpose, concentrated" , "Mean to" , "Resolved; purpose" , "Keen" , "wrapped up" .)
