'savoured' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs can sometimes define each other.

'among clues i do dreadfully one' is the wordplay.
'among' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'dreadfully' indicates an anagram.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'clues'+'i'+'do'='cluesido'
'cluesido' is an anagram of 'delcious'.
'delcious' enclosing 'i' is 'DELICIOUS'.

'is to be' is the link.
