Recovery is impossible for me, poor creature (9)
I believe the answer is:
mendicant
'poor creature' is the definition.
(term for a beggar)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mendicant that I've seen before include "Begging" , "Beggar" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
