Blissful about Lamb? Yes, involved, but not in ecstasy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elysian

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'blissful' is the definition.
(elysian can mean like paradise)

'about lamb? yes involved but not in ecstasy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is present in the answer.
'yes' could be 'y' and 'y' is located in the answer.
'involved' could be 'in' (to be involved in something is to be 'in' it) and 'in' is found within the leftover letters.
'ecstasy' could be 'e' (informal term for the drug) and 'e' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elysian that I've seen before include "glorious" , "... Fields, final resting place of the souls of Greek heroes" , "Blissful, like the ....... Fields of Greek myth" , "Heavenly" , "Of abode of the blessed dead in Greek mythology" .)
