Latin men set out to be romantic (11)
I believe the answer is:
sentimental
'romantic' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'latin men set out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'latin'+'men'+'set'='latinmenset'
'latinmenset' anagrammed gives 'SENTIMENTAL'.
'to be' is the link.
(Other definitions for sentimental that I've seen before include "Feeling much" , "Moved by fond memories of the past" , "pathetic" , "Evoking tender emotions" , "Expressing tender emotions" .)
