Enchanting girl entering Italian island from east (8)
I believe the answer is:
adorable
'enchanting' is the definition.
(both can mean lovable)
'girl entering italian island from east' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'dora' (girl's name).
'entering' indicates putting letters inside.
'italian island' becomes 'Elba' (Elba is an Italian island).
'from east' says the letters should be written backwards.
'elba' written backwards gives 'able'.
'dora' going into 'able' is 'ADORABLE'.
(Other definitions for adorable that I've seen before include "Very pleasing" , "winning" , "Attractive - captivating" , "Inspiring great affection" , "Such as excites loving admiration" .)
