Deeply impressed by an article we had (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awed

'deeply impressed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'by an article we had' is the wordplay.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'an article' becomes 'a' (English indefinite article).
'we had' becomes 'we'd' (contraction of 'we had').
'a' next to 'wed' is 'AWED'.

(Other definitions for awed that I've seen before include "Wade (anag.)" , "Amazed" , "was dazzling" , "Filled with fear and wonder" , "Wade about, filled with wonder" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
