Absorbed by dance music, zip about feeling giddy (8)
I believe the answer is:
swooning
'feeling giddy' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'absorbed by dance music zip about' is the wordplay.
'absorbed by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'dance music' becomes 'swing' (I've seen this before).
'zip' becomes 'o' (zip can mean zero).
'about' becomes 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic).
'o'+'on'='oon'
'swing' enclosing 'oon' is 'SWOONING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swooning that I've seen before include "Fainting in ladylike way" , "Fainting with emotion" .)
