Want to reside differently (6)
I believe the answer is:
desire
'want' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'reside differently' is the wordplay.
'differently' indicates anagramming the letters.
'reside' with letters rearranged gives 'DESIRE'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for desire that I've seen before include "Wish for strongly" , "Want strongly" , "Want to reside?" , "Longing or wish" , "Reside (anag.)" .)
