Created form of edam (4)
I believe the answer is:
made
'created' is the definition.
('make' can be a synonym of 'create')
'form of edam' is the wordplay.
'form of' is an anagram indicator (another form of the same letters).
'edam' is an anagram of 'MADE'.
(Other definitions for made that I've seen before include "brought about" , "One renovating (painting)" , "Performed" , "Manufactured" , "Created" .)
