Just ego's hurt I fancy (9)
I believe the answer is:
righteous
'just' is the definition.
('righteous' is associated in meaning with 'just')
'ego's hurt i fancy' is the wordplay.
'fancy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'egos'+'hurt'+'i'='egoshurti'
'egoshurti' with letters rearranged gives 'RIGHTEOUS'.
(Other definitions for righteous that I've seen before include "Virtuous, free from sin or guilt" , "Morally justifiable, or people who behave thus" , "Moral - virtuous" , "Showing virtue" , "Just, upright" .)
