Crossword Genius

One loved working of animator around end of Cinderella (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inamorata

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one loved working' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'animator around end of cinderella' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'end of' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'cinderella' is 'a'.
'animator' is an anagram of 'inamorat'.
'inamorat'+'a'='INAMORATA'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inamorata that I've seen before include "loved one" , "Woman beloved" , "6 across [BOSOM] friend" , "Female lover" , "Woman in love" .)
