Adore us when excited? Just that (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aroused

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'just that' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'adore us when excited?' is the wordplay.
'when excited?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'when excited' mean this).
'adore'+'us'='adoreus'
'adoreus' with letters rearranged gives 'AROUSED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aroused that I've seen before include "Excited, stimulated" , "Keenly excited" , "Woken - excited" , "Brought to" , "Inspired" .)
