Choosy, wanting item (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

particular

I believe this is a double definition.

'choosy' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'item' is the second definition.
(I know that item can be written as particular)

'wanting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for particular that I've seen before include "going into detail" , "item" , "Fastidious; individual" , "Fog over London" , "Exceptional" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
