Eastern movement has a learner aroused? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emotional

'aroused?' is the definition.
(I know that aroused can be written as emotional)

'eastern movement has a learner' is the wordplay.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'movement' becomes 'motion' (synonyms).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'learner' becomes 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'e'+'motion'+'a'+'l'='EMOTIONAL'

(Other definitions for emotional that I've seen before include "Arousing strong feeling" , "Loving" , "Showing strong feelings" , "Showing feelings like love or fear" , "Arousing strong feelings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
