Ross

I believe the answer is:

enviable

'admired' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'leave bin out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'leave'+'bin'='leavebin'
'leavebin' anagrammed gives 'ENVIABLE'.

'to be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enviable that I've seen before include "Desirable enough to make one green-eyed" , "Privileged - to be desired" , "Likely to cause jealousy" , "Exciting jealousy" , "Be venial - it makes others jealous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
