One editor's requirement (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

need

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

'requirement' is the definition.
(I know that need is a type of requirement)

'one editor's' is the wordplay.
'NEED' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for need that I've seen before include "Require; want" , "Exigency" , "Want - poverty" , "Lack or require" , "''A friend in .... is a friend indeed''" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
