Affectionate daughter tucks into last of Hula Hoops (7)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
adoring
'affectionate' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'daughter tucks into last of hula hoops' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'tucks into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'last of' indicates one should take the final letters.
'hoops' becomes 'oring' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The last letter of 'hula' is 'a'.
'a'+'oring'='aoring'
'd' put inside 'aoring' is 'ADORING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adoring that I've seen before include "Greatly loving" , "Worshipping; admiring" , "Passionate" , "Holding dear" , "Giving great love" .)
