I believe the answer is:

edit

'correct' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'hereditary in part?' is the wordplay.
'in part?' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'in part' mean this).

(Other definitions for edit that I've seen before include "This is an act of cleaning" , "Prepare to publish" , "Literally, arrange" , "Supervise the publication of" , "Censor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
