Picked up narrative about hot temperature, making you horrified (6)
I believe the answer is:
aghast
'horrified' is the definition.
(I know that horrified can be written as aghast)
'picked up narrative about hot temperature' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found in the answer.
'hot' could be 'h' (common abbreviation eg on taps) and 'h' is located in the answer.
'temperature' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'gas' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'making you' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aghast that I've seen before include "Filled with fear and consternation" , "Deeply shocked" , "Very unhappy" , "Stupefied with horror" , "Appalled, filled with consternation" .)
