Anxious at home: scoundrel coming into view (8)
I believe the answer is:
insecure
'anxious' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'home scoundrel coming into view' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'scoundrel' becomes 'cur' (cur can mean a despicable person).
'coming into' is an insertion indicator.
'view' becomes 'see' (synonyms).
'cur' going inside 'see' is 'secure'.
'in'+'secure'='INSECURE'
'at' is the link.
(Other definitions for insecure that I've seen before include "Loose" , "Not firmly fixed" , "Dangerous" , "Insufficiently protected; not confident" , "Sinecure for those lacking in confidence" .)
