Satisfied raw needs somehow (8)
I believe the answer is:
answered
'satisfied' is the definition.
(answering is a kind of satisfying)
'raw needs somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'raw'+'needs'='rawneeds'
'rawneeds' anagrammed gives 'ANSWERED'.
(Other definitions for answered that I've seen before include "Satisfied" , "was sufficient" , "Sawn reed (anag.)" , "Responded to a question" , "succeeded" .)
