Adores words from groom, maybe -- stories about stables, primarily (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idolises

'adores' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'words from groom maybe stories about stables primarily' is the wordplay.
'words from groom maybe' becomes 'I do' (wedding vows).
'stories' becomes 'lies' (to tell stories can mean to lie).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'primarily' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'stables' is 's'.
'lies' enclosing 's' is 'lises'.
'ido'+'lises'='IDOLISES'

(Other definitions for idolises that I've seen before include "Greatly reveres" , "Reveres, adores" , "Apotheosises" , "Hero-worships" , "Worships and adores" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
