Crossword Genius

Artist attached to her work left in charge of transport (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rapture

'transport' is the definition.
(I know that transport can be written as rapture)

'artist attached to her work left in charge' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'artist' could be 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts) and 'ra' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rapture that I've seen before include "Extreme delight" , "Sheer bliss or ecstasy" , "modified for Nanki-Poo?" , "Transports of delight" , "Ecstasy, seventh heaven" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
