Irresistible school made us vile, somehow (10)
I believe the answer is:
compulsive
'irresistible' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'made us vile somehow' is the wordplay.
'made' becomes 'comp' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'us'+'vile'='usvile'
'usvile' anagrammed gives 'ulsive'.
'comp'+'ulsive'='COMPULSIVE'
'school' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
