Love entering a home on the water? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afloat

'on the water?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'love entering a home' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'entering' is an insertion indicator.
'home' becomes 'flat' (flat is a type of home or residence).
'a'+'flat'='aflat'
'o' going within 'aflat' is 'AFLOAT'.

(Other definitions for afloat that I've seen before include "Buoyed" , "At sea, drifting aimlessly" , "Bobbing along?" , "On board a ship or boat" , "At sea, on the water" .)
