Full of zeal for a new trend (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ardent

'full of zeal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a new trend' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'trend' anagrammed gives 'rdent'.
'a'+'rdent'='ARDENT'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ardent that I've seen before include "Ranted, being passionate" , "Burning, passionate" , "full of zeal" , "Hot" , "Intensely enthusiastic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
