Namely, he gets excited about marriage (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hymeneal

'marriage' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'namely he gets excited' is the wordplay.
'gets excited' is an anagram indicator.
'namely'+'he'='namelyhe'
'namelyhe' with letters rearranged gives 'HYMENEAL'.

'about' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hymeneal that I've seen before include "about the match?" , "celebrating marriage" , "Concerning marriage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
