Cheers up, about to enter restaurant to engage in seduction? (7)
I believe the answer is:
attract
'engage in seduction?' is the definition.
'attract' can be an answer for 'engage' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'in seduction?' bit.
'cheers up about to enter restaurant' is the wordplay.
'cheers up' becomes 'at' (I've seen this in other clues).
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa'**).
'to enter' is an insertion indicator.
'restaurant' becomes 'trat' (I've seen this in other clues).
'c' going inside 'trat' is 'tract'.
'at'+'tract'='ATTRACT'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attract that I've seen before include "'Draw, charm (7)'" , "Act as a magnet" , "Entrance" , "Exercise a magnetic influence" , "Behave like a magnet" .)
