Enticing learner — University indication of engagement? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

luring

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

'enticing' is the definition.
('lure' can be a synonym of 'entice')

'learner university indication of engagement?' is the wordplay.
'learner' becomes 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'indication of engagement?' becomes 'ring' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'l'+'u'+'ring'='LURING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for luring that I've seen is " Enticing, tempting".)
