Working for another redefinition of ritual, getting lot of criticism (10)
I believe the answer is:
altruistic
'working' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'another redefinition of ritual getting lot of criticism' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'ritual' is 'altrui' which is present in the answer.
'lot' could be 'c' and 'c' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for altruistic that I've seen before include "in others' interest" , "magnanimous" , "Selfless" , "Humanitarian" , "Concerned for others' wellbeing" .)
