Aim to drink exotic nectar, becoming bewitched (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entranced

'bewitched' is the definition.
('entrance' can be a synonym of 'bewitch')

'aim to drink exotic nectar' is the wordplay.
'aim' becomes 'end' (I've seen this before).
'to drink' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'exotic' is an anagram indicator.
'nectar' anagrammed gives 'trance'.
'end' enclosing 'trance' is 'ENTRANCED'.

'becoming' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for entranced that I've seen before include ""Spellbound"?" , "Cast a spell" , "Sent" , "hypnotised" , "Filled with wonder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
