Some asparagus needed for health resort (3)
I believe the answer is:
spa
'health resort' is the definition.
(spa can mean a health resort)
'some asparagus needed' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'SPA' can be found hidden inside 'asparagus needed'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for spa that I've seen before include "here for the good of his health?" , "E.g. Harrogate" , "Cheltenham or Bath?" , "well" , "Where people go for spring" .)
