Present I mentioned was packed with emotion (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sentiment

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'emotion' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'present i mentioned was packed' is the wordplay.
'SENTIMENT' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sentiment that I've seen before include "Emotional feeling" , "Test men in, say, emotion" , "Slush" , "Emotional thought" , "Mawkishness" .)
