adorned

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'enhanced' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'commotion royal navy entered banks' is the wordplay.
'commotion' becomes 'ado' (ado is a kind of commotion).
'royal navy' becomes 'rn'.
'banks' means to remove the middle letters (the sides or banks of the word).
'entered' with its centre removed is 'ed'.
'ado'+'rn'+'ed'='ADORNED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adorned that I've seen before include "Put on finery" , "Bedecked while Don read" , "Decorated, bedecked" , "Embellished, decorated" , "done up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
