Vindictive move — tell an edited version (10)
I believe the answer is:
malevolent
'vindictive' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'move tell an edited version' is the wordplay.
'edited version' indicates an anagram.
'move'+'tell'+'an'='movetellan'
'movetellan' with letters rearranged gives 'MALEVOLENT'.
(Other definitions for malevolent that I've seen before include "Evil-minded" , "bitter" , "Wishing evil to others" , "very bad" , "Ill-disposed towards others" .)
