Love to make an entrance we hear (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adore

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'love' is the definition.
(adoring is a kind of loving)

'an entrance we hear' is the wordplay.
'entrance' indicates taking the first letters.
'we hear' becomes 'dore' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The initial letter of 'an' is 'a'.
'a'+'dore'='ADORE'

'to make' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adore that I've seen before include "Respect deeply" , "Worship, idolise" , "Love greatly" , "Love, revere intensely" , "Worship, venerate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News, The Globe and Mail and The Irish Independent.
