Induct wags into transports of mirth (9)

I believe the answer is:

jocundity

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mirth' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'induct wags into transports' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'induct' is 'cundit' which is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'joy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for jocundity that I've seen is " Cheerfulness".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
