Mutilate man’s title from edition being recalled (6)
I believe the answer is:
deform
'mutilate' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'man's title from edition being recalled' is the wordplay.
'man's title' becomes 'mr' (how to address a man).
'from' becomes 'of' (of can mean from or belonging to).
'edition' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'being recalled' says the letters should be written in reverse (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'mr'+'of'+'ed'='mrofed'
'mrofed' backwards is 'DEFORM'.
(Other definitions for deform that I've seen before include "Damage" , "buckle" , "Spoil" , "Put out of shape" , "Disfigure" .)
