Recalled urge to take care of edition requiring attention (5)
I believe the answer is:
needy
'requiring attention' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'recalled urge to take care of edition' is the wordplay.
'recalled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'urge' becomes 'yen' (yen can mean a craving for something).
'to take care of' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'edition' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'yen' backwards is 'ney'.
'ney' enclosing 'ed' is 'NEEDY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for needy that I've seen before include "badly craving affection" , "Poor - destitute" , "Wanting attention" , "Hard up" , "Distressed" .)
