Laze about with fervour? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zeal

'fervour?' is the definition.
(I know that zeal is a type of ardor)

'laze about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'laze' anagrammed gives 'ZEAL'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for zeal that I've seen before include "Passion" , "Zest, ardour" , "Zing" , "Dedicated enthusiasm" , "Eager (if not fanatical) enthusiasm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
