Plug and admire new interactive information system (10)
I believe the answer is:
hypermedia
'interactive information system' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'plug and admire new' is the wordplay.
'plug' becomes 'hype' (synonyms).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'admire' with letters rearranged gives 'rmedia'.
'hype'+'rmedia'='HYPERMEDIA'
