Crossword Genius

Admit Ophelia sits awkwardly (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hospitalise

'admit' is the definition.
(as in to admit into hospital)

'ophelia sits awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' indicates an anagram.
'ophelia'+'sits'='opheliasits'
'opheliasits' anagrammed gives 'HOSPITALISE'.
