Disinclined to wander far for help (6)
I believe the answer is:
afraid
'disinclined' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'wander far for help' is the wordplay.
'wander' indicates anagramming the letters.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'help' becomes 'aid' (synonyms).
'far' with letters rearranged gives 'afr'.
'afr'+'aid'='AFRAID'
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for afraid that I've seen before include "Filled with fear" , "Scared, apprehensive" , "Fearful and timid" , "Timorous" , "Frightened" .)
