Surrounding me, wild greed appeared (7)
I believe the answer is:
emerged
'appeared' is the definition.
(emerging is a kind of appearing)
'surrounding me wild greed' is the wordplay.
'surrounding' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'greed' anagrammed gives 'erged'.
'me' put into 'erged' is 'EMERGED'.
(Other definitions for emerged that I've seen before include "Deem Reg to have come out" , "Came forth" , "Slowly came out" , "Transpired" , "Came into view or became apparent" .)
