Crossword Genius

Kind of desecration involved (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

considerate

'kind' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'desecration involved' is the wordplay.
'involved' indicates an anagram (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'desecration' with letters rearranged gives 'CONSIDERATE'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for considerate that I've seen before include "Careful not to harm or inconvenience others" , "Kind" , "Showing concern for the feelings of others" , "Mindful of others' well-being" , "Unselfish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
