More impoverished (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

needier

'more impoverished' is the definition.
('needy' can be a synonym of 'impoverished')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for needier that I've seen before include "poor, ultimately - more so than others" , "More disadvantaged" , "Poorer" , "Wanting more" , "more impoverished" .)

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