I come and stir up stuff to get you going! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eroticism

'stuff to get you going' is the definition.

'i come and stir up' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'up' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'come'='icome'
'icome' put after 'stir' is 'stiricome'.
'stiricome' with letters rearranged gives 'EROTICISM'.

(Another definition for eroticism that I've seen is " Amorous temperament".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
