A giant in excited eagerness (4)

I believe the answer is:

agog

'in excited eagerness' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a giant' is the wordplay.
'giant' becomes 'gog' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'gog'='AGOG'

(Other definitions for agog that I've seen before include "Enthralled" , "Expecting" , "In excited eagerness" , "Unable to wait" , "All ears" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
