Made a home for a good man in want (6)
I believe the answer is:
nested
'made a home' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'a good man in want' is the wordplay.
'a good man' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for saint).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'want' becomes 'need' (synonyms).
'st' placed into 'need' is 'NESTED'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for nested that I've seen before include "Settled in cosily like bird" , "intricate arrangement" , "built a dwelling out of bits of wood" , "Settle in comfortably like a bird" , "Of bird, settled in to home" .)
