Crossword Genius

Difficulty about love (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adore

'love' is the definition.
(adoring is a kind of loving)

'difficulty about' is the wordplay.
'difficulty' becomes 'ado' (ado is bother or difficulty).
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'ado'+'re'='ADORE'

(Other definitions for adore that I've seen before include "Worship, idolise" , "Worship, venerate" , "Love to distraction" , "Respect deeply" , "Worship and glorify" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
