Eastern purpose for rousing feelings (7)
I believe the answer is:
emotive
'rousing feelings' is the definition.
'emotive' can be an answer for 'feelings' (I have seen 'Stirring feelings' mean 'emotive' so perhaps 'feelings' could also mean 'emotive'). I am not certain of the 'rousing' bit.
'eastern purpose' is the wordplay.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'purpose' becomes 'motive' (I've seen this in another clue).
'e'+'motive'='EMOTIVE'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emotive that I've seen before include "Stirring feeling" , "Arousing deep feeling" , "exciting" , "Deeply felt" , "Arousing strong feeling" .)
