Pride came out to enjoy pleasures of the moment (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

carpe diem

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

'enjoy pleasures of the moment' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'pride came out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'pride'+'came'='pridecame'
'pridecame' anagrammed gives 'CARPE DIEM'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for carpe diem that I've seen before include "Make the most of the time you have" , "from Horace" , "Gather ye rosebuds" , "'Seize the day'" , "Enjoy the moment! (Latin)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
