Crossword Genius

EU partner ruined entrance (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enrapture

'entrance' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'eu partner ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
'eu'+'partner'='eupartner'
'eupartner' is an anagram of 'ENRAPTURE'.

(Other definitions for enrapture that I've seen before include "Give intense pleasure to" , "entrance" , "Bewitch" , "Transport" , "Ape Turner (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
