James Bond perhaps talked abruptly about love (5)
I believe the answer is:
spook
'james bond perhaps' is the definition.
(I know that James Bond is a spook)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spook that I've seen before include "Enterprise propels him" , "Frighten - haunt - spy" , "agent" , "Startle - spy" , "Ghost, spectre" .)
