Longing again, lost in a daze (9)
I believe the answer is:
nostalgia
'longing' is the definition.
(I know that nostalgia is a type of longing)
'again lost in a daze' is the wordplay.
'again lost' anagrams to 'NOSTALGIA'.
Though, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nostalgia that I've seen before include "longing for home and family" , "A sentimental longing of analogist" , "Sentimental longing for the past" , "That may bring on homesickness" , "Remembrance of Things Past" .)
