Imagined admirer tossed dice (7)

I believe the answer is:

fancied

'imagined' is the definition.
(fancying is a kind of imagining)

'admirer tossed dice' is the wordplay.
'admirer' becomes 'fan' (fan is a kind of admirer).
'tossed' is an anagram indicator.
'dice' is an anagram of 'cied'.
'fan'+'cied'='FANCIED'

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
