Rave about account lacking inspiration on the radio (7)
I believe the answer is:
acclaim
'rave' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'account lacking inspiration on the radio' is the wordplay.
'account' becomes 'acc'.
'lacking' means to remove the last letter (the word is incomplete or lacking).
'inspiration on the radio' becomes 'claim' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'acc' with its last letter taken off is 'ac'.
'ac'+'claim'='ACCLAIM'
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for acclaim that I've seen before include "Enthusiastic approval" , "Welcome with shouts of approval" , "Hail" , "commendation" , "Welcome with shouts of applause" .)
