Crossword Genius

Adoring tour, do sail around (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idolatrous

'adoring' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'tour do sail around' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'tour'+'do'+'sail'='tourdosail'
'tourdosail' anagrammed gives 'IDOLATROUS'.

(Other definitions for idolatrous that I've seen before include "devoted to figures" , "Worshipping inappropriately" , "Worshipping images" , "Inappropriately worshipful" , "worshipping wrongly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
