Crossword Genius

Eager to display grief (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

keen

I believe this is a double definition.

'eager' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'display grief' is the second definition.
(keen can mean to wail with grief)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for keen that I've seen before include "cry" , "Sharp - avid" , "Diligent" , "Sharp - lament" , "Eager; dirge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
