Made to dissolve, ourselves, into fits of laughter? (6)
I believe the answer is:
amused
'made to dissolve ourselves into fits of laughter?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'made to dissolve ourselves into' is the wordplay.
'to dissolve' is an anagram indicator.
'ourselves' becomes 'us'.
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'made' is an anagram of 'amed'.
'amed' placed around 'us' is 'AMUSED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amused that I've seen before include "Kept someone entertained" , "Beguiled" , "Provoked mirth in" , "Delighted" , "Made (someone) laugh" .)
