Lively priest I’d disturbed (8)
I believe the answer is:
spirited
'lively' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)
'priest i'd disturbed' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates an anagram (the order of letters is disturbed).
'priest'+'id'='priestid'
'priestid' is an anagram of 'SPIRITED'.
(Other definitions for spirited that I've seen before include "with brio" , "Lively and brave" , "Secretly transported" , "Lively, in upbeat mood" , "Sparkling" .)
