Strange desire to have a permanent address (6)
I believe the answer is:
reside
'a permanent address' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'strange desire' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates an anagram.
'desire' is an anagram of 'RESIDE'.
'to have' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reside that I've seen before include "'Live, dwell (6)'" , "Live (at an address)" , "Inhabit" , "Dwell - settle" , "Live in permanently" .)
