Crossword Genius

Excitedly bore doll to brothel (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bordello

'brothel' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'excitedly bore doll' is the wordplay.
'excitedly' is an anagram indicator.
'bore'+'doll'='boredoll'
'boredoll' anagrammed gives 'BORDELLO'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for bordello that I've seen before include "House of ill-repute" , "House of ill repute" , "Knocking shop" , "Brothel" , "Disorderly house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
