'early corrie legend special one? not half' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'cause to love' is the wordplay.
'cause' becomes 'en' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to love' becomes 'amour' ('love' in French).
'en'+'amour'='ENAMOUR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enamour that I've seen before include "Fill with love" , "Charm, captivate" , "Delight" , "Inspire with love; charm" , "Enchant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
