Curse felon's ruse to change desirable property (15)
I believe the answer is:
resourcefulness
'desirable property' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'curse felon's ruse to change' is the wordplay.
'to change' indicates an anagram.
'curse'+'felons'+'ruse'='cursefelonsruse'
'cursefelonsruse' is an anagram of 'RESOURCEFULNESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
