Eagerness or zeal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ardour

I believe this is a double definition.

'eagerness' is the first definition.
(ardour is a kind of eagerness)

'zeal' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for ardour that I've seen before include "Great fire" , "Great enthusiasm or passion" , "Warm, passionate feeling" , "Fervour or passion" , "Passion and intensity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
