'entry lad made with fervour' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'entry lad made' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates an anagram.
'entry'+'lad'='entrylad'
'entrylad' with letters rearranged gives 'ARDENTLY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ardently that I've seen before include "With passion" , "with zeal" , "full of enthusiasm?" , "Passionately" , "In a very passionate way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
