Misrepresenting Macron -- it's soppy (8)
I believe the answer is:
romantic
'soppy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'misrepresenting macron it's' is the wordplay.
'misrepresenting' indicates an anagram.
'macron'+'it'='macronit'
'macronit' with letters rearranged gives 'ROMANTIC'.
(Other definitions for romantic that I've seen before include "Visionary" , "Sentimental" , "Amatory" , "as Darnay perhaps" , "Fantastic" .)
