Poor editing aroused emotions, perhaps? (7)
I believe the answer is:
ignited
'aroused emotions perhaps?' is the definition.
'poor editing' is the wordplay.
'poor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'editing' is an anagram of 'IGNITED'.
(Other definitions for ignited that I've seen before include "Kindled" , "Caught fire" , "Gin diet (anag.)" , "Lit" , "Set on fire" .)
