Sense single man's suffering from futility (15)

I believe the answer is:

meaninglessness

'futility' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'sense single man's suffering' is the wordplay.
'suffering' is an anagram indicator.
'sense'+'single'+'mans'='sensesinglemans'
'sensesinglemans' with letters rearranged gives 'MEANINGLESSNESS'.

'from' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
