Muses, and anon spirit is transformed! (12)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
inspirations
'muses' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'anon spirit is transformed' is the wordplay.
'transformed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'anon'+'spirit'+'is'='anonspiritis'
'anonspiritis' anagrammed gives 'INSPIRATIONS'.
'and' is the link.
