'in awe' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'silver crowned primate' is the wordplay.
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'crowned primate' becomes 'ape' (large primate. I am not sure about the 'crowned' bit.).
'ag'+'ape'='AGAPE'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agape that I've seen before include "(Of mouth) wide open" , "love feast" , "ecclesiastical feast" , "Astonished" , "love a Christian shows" .)
