Female a distance away is enthralled (10)
I believe the answer is:
fascinated
'enthralled' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'female a distance away' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'fa' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'away' indicates an anagram.
'distance' with letters rearranged gives 'scinated'.
'fa'+'scinated'='FASCINATED'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fascinated that I've seen before include "spellbound" , "Irresistably attracted" , "Captivated" , "Irresistibly interested" , "captured" .)
