knee-deep

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'go wading' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'keep including need' is the wordplay.
'including' indicates putting letters inside.
'keep' placed around 'need' is 'KNEE-DEEP'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for knee-deep that I've seen before include "Deeply involved (in something)" , "Coming half way up the leg" , "(Of water) over the top of one's wellies?" , "Halfway up one's leg" , "Thoroughly involved (in)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
