Ecstasy gets a hip roue smashed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

euphoria

'ecstasy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a hip roue smashed' is the wordplay.
'smashed' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'hip'+'roue'='ahiproue'
'ahiproue' with letters rearranged gives 'EUPHORIA'.

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for euphoria that I've seen before include "Delight" , "Irrational high" , "feeling good?" , "Exaggerated feeling of wellbeing" , "Over-optimism" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
