Go around island worried as likely to erupt? (10)
I believe the answer is:
passionate
'likely to erupt?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'go around island worried' is the wordplay.
'go' becomes 'passon' (passing on is a kind of going).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'island' becomes 'i' (geographical abbreviation).
'worried' becomes 'ate' (something worrying may eat someone up).
'passon' going around 'i' is 'passion'.
'passion'+'ate'='PASSIONATE'
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for passionate that I've seen before include "Showing strong emotions" , "Showing intense feeling" , "Strongly emotional" , "Easily moved" , "Having strong feelings" .)
