Wanted (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

needed

'wanted' is the definition.
('need' can be a synonym of 'want')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for needed that I've seen before include "Obligatory" , "Essential; called for" , "'Lacked, required (6)'" , "'Wanted, required (6)'" , "Required, necessary" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Star Tribune.
