Clearly anxious, on finding the balance reduced (8)
I believe the answer is:
restless
'clearly anxious' is the definition.
'restless' can be an answer for 'anxious' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'clearly' bit.
'on finding the balance reduced' is the wordplay.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'finding the balance' becomes 'rest' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'reduced' becomes 'less' (a reduced amount).
'rest'+'less' is 'RESTLESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for restless that I've seen before include "Unable to settle" , "Uneasy and agitated" , "Not relaxed, unsettled" , "Fidgety - unable to sleep" , "Constantly moving about or fidgeting" .)
