We desire pants wife's taken off, getting more sleazy (7)
I believe the answer is:
seedier
'more sleazy' is the definition.
('seedy' can be a synonym of 'sleazy')
'we desire pants wife's taken off' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'taken' could be 'seed' (seeding is a kind of taking) and 'seed' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ier' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seedier that I've seen before include "much more squalid" , "Greedy budgie's cage could have been" , "Shabbier" .)
