Uneasy journalist ending affair (9)
I believe the answer is:
concerned
'uneasy journalist ending affair' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'uneasy journalist ending affair' is the wordplay.
'uneasy journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor. I am not sure about the 'uneasy' bit.).
'ending' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'affair' becomes 'concern' (I've seen this before).
'ed' after 'concern' is 'CONCERNED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for concerned that I've seen before include "Worried, anxious" , "anxiety" , "Feeling or showing worry or solicitude" , "Involved - worried" .)
