Crossword Genius

A way to be taking our enthusiasm (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ardour

'enthusiasm' is the definition.
(ardour is a kind of enthusiasm)

'a way to be taking our' is the wordplay.
'a way' becomes 'ard' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to be taking' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ard'+'our'='ARDOUR'

(Other definitions for ardour that I've seen before include "Enthusiasm or warmth of passion" , "Love and enthusiasm" , "Warm, passionate feeling" , "Passionate warmth" , "Passion and intensity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
