Aroused type went ahead (7)
I believe the answer is:
kindled
'aroused' is the definition.
('kindle' can be a synonym of 'arouse')
'type went ahead' is the wordplay.
'type' becomes 'kind' (I've seen this before).
'went ahead' becomes 'led' (I've seen this before).
'kind'+'led'='KINDLED'
(Other definitions for kindled that I've seen before include "Inspired" , "was inspiring" , "Awoken" , "Set on fire" .)
