Lip-smacking enthusiasm (5)

I believe the answer is:

gusto

(Other definitions for gusto that I've seen before include "Exuberant enjoyment" , "Got us with great enjoyment" , "Zest and enjoyment in doing something" , "Great enthusiasm" , "Zest, great enjoyment in doing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
