Attract by exciting desire authentic emotion captures (6)
I believe the answer is:
entice
'attract by exciting desire' is the definition.
'entice' can be an answer for 'attract' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'by exciting desire' bit.
'authentic emotion captures' is the wordplay.
'captures' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the answer is trapped within the clue).
'ENTICE' is hidden within 'authentic emotion'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for entice that I've seen before include "Persuade with nice offer" , "Attract with offers" , "Tempt, lead astray" , "Trap" , "Ice net (anag)" .)
