Being restive is not any use but might be (6)
I believe the answer is:
uneasy
'being restive' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'not any use but might be' is the wordplay.
'any use' can be anagrammed to 'UNEASY'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for uneasy that I've seen before include "Restless, perturbed" , "Jumpy" , "Disturbed" , "Feeling troubled or uncomfortable" , "Anxious, unquietly" .)
