Crossword Genius

Poor Edna embarrassed about having wind (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meander

'wind' is the definition.
('meander' can be a synonym of 'wind')

'poor edna embarrassed about having' is the wordplay.
'having' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'rednaem' is hidden in the letters of 'poor edna embarrassed'.
'rednaem' in reverse letter order is 'MEANDER'.

(Other definitions for meander that I've seen before include "windy" , "Red mane (anag) - roam aimlessly" , "Aimless course" , "Snake" , "Wander about, follow a winding course" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
