I desire to backtrack, about to abandon unbalanced state (8)
I believe the answer is:
inequity
'i desire' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'backtrack about to abandon unbalanced state' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'abandon' could be 'quit' (quitting is a kind of abandoning) and 'quit' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inequity that I've seen before include "Prejudice" , "Unfairness, injustice" , "Unjust treatment" , "Lack of fairness" , "not fair" .)
