Was crazy about having suffered patricide? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

desired

'was crazy about' is the definition.
(to be crazy about someone is to desire them)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for desired that I've seen before include "much wished for" , "Wanted greatly" , "Craved" , "Sought after" , "Had aspired to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
