Fuss about worship (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adore

'worship' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fuss about' is the wordplay.
'fuss' becomes 'ado' ('ado' can be a synonym of 'fuss').
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'ado'+'re'='ADORE'

(Other definitions for adore that I've seen before include "Love to distraction" , "Love, revere intensely" , "Love greatly" , "Love, worship" , "Respect deeply" .)

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