Behaved amorously — when papa’s wife fainted (7)
I believe the answer is:
swooned
'fainted' is the definition.
('swoon' can be a synonym of 'faint')
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
(Other definitions for swooned that I've seen before include "collapsed" , "Fainted" .)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
