What's wanted ultimately when one made good? (4)
I believe the answer is:
need
'what's wanted' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'ultimately when one made good?' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
The final letters of 'when one made good' are 'NEED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for need that I've seen before include "Exigency" , "Shortage" , "Want - require(ment)" , "''A friend in .... is a friend indeed''" , "Necessitate" .)
