Feeling love in a room excited American (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amorous

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

'feeling love' is the definition.
'amorous' can be an answer for 'love' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'feeling' bit.

'a room excited american' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates anagramming the letters.
'american' becomes 'US' (United States).
'room' is an anagram of 'moro'.
'a'+'moro'+'us'='AMOROUS'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amorous that I've seen before include "Lovong" , "Possessed of loving or romantic feeling" , "Showing or feeling loving feeling" , "Impassioned and loving" , "Feeling or showing romantic love" .)
