Importunes sadly for a new beginning (10)

I believe the answer is:

resumption

'a new beginning' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'importunes sadly' is the wordplay.
'sadly' is an anagram indicator.
'importunes' with letters rearranged gives 'RESUMPTION'.

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for resumption that I've seen is " fresh start is needed".)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
