Word "mourn" could produce a parasite (9)
I believe the answer is:
roundworm
'a parasite' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'word mourn could produce' is the wordplay.
'could produce' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'word'+'mourn'='wordmourn'
'wordmourn' is an anagram of 'ROUNDWORM'.
(Another definition for roundworm that I've seen is " parasite perhaps".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
