'making appearance' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'strangely enamoured' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates anagramming the letters.
'enamoured' with letters rearranged gives 'DEMEANOUR'.

(Other definitions for demeanour that I've seen before include "Outward bearing" , "Manner of behaving towards others" , "Conduct" , "Behaviour" , "Look" .)
