Wanted man to anger detective (7)
I believe the answer is:
desired
'wanted' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'man to anger detective' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'Des'.
'to anger detective' becomes 'ired' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'des'+'ired'='DESIRED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for desired that I've seen before include "Wanted strongly" , "much wished for" , "Sought after" , "Had aspired to" , "requested" .)
