Crossword Genius

Lots again suffering homesickness (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nostalgia

'homesickness' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'lots again suffering' is the wordplay.
'suffering' is an anagram indicator.
'lots'+'again'='lotsagain'
'lotsagain' with letters rearranged gives 'NOSTALGIA'.

(Other definitions for nostalgia that I've seen before include "Remembrance of Things Past" , "Sentimental feeling of analogist" , "fondly looking back" , "Wistfulness" , "Longing for things past" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
