Crossword Genius

Unusual desire to live (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reside

'live' is the definition.
(residing is a kind of living)

'unusual desire' is the wordplay.
'unusual' is an anagram indicator.
'desire' is an anagram of 'RESIDE'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for reside that I've seen before include "Make one's home permanently" , "'Live, dwell (6)'" , "Lodge" , "Live in permanently" , "Live (at an address)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
