Distractedly dream about one to worship (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

admire

'to worship' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'distractedly dream about one' is the wordplay.
'distractedly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'dream' with letters rearranged gives 'admre'.
'admre' going around 'i' is 'ADMIRE'.

(Other definitions for admire that I've seen before include "Hold in high regard" , "Esteem, look up to" , "Esteem, have high regard for" , "put on a pedestal" , "Idolise" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
