Desire in one's child to become a doctor (7)
I believe the answer is:
surgeon
'a doctor' is the definition.
(I know that doctor can be written as surgeon)
'desire in one's child' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'desire' could be 'urge' (I've seen this before) and 'urge' is found in the answer.
'child' could be 'son' (male child) and 'son' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to become' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for surgeon that I've seen before include "Sawbones" , "Operating medical practitioner" , "Theatre operator" , "Naval medic" , "Physician" .)
