Ardour amid the clover (4)
I believe the answer is:
love
'ardour' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both feelings as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'amid the clover' is the wordplay.
'amid' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LOVE' is hidden in the letters of 'the clover'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for love that I've seen before include "See 4" , "angel" , "Intense affection" , "Ardent emotion" , "See 10" .)
