Extremely earnest (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intense

'extremely earnest' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for intense that I've seen before include "'Ardent, forceful (7)'" , "Feeling deeply" , "Strong in degree or emotion" , "Deeply felt - extreme" , "Fervent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The Times.
