Put in high spirits with story about ecstasy? (5)
I believe the answer is:
elate
'put in high spirits' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'story about ecstasy?' is the wordplay.
'story' becomes 'tale' (synonyms).
'about' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'ecstasy?' becomes 'E' (informal term for the drug).
'tale' written backwards gives 'elat'.
'elat'+'e'='ELATE'
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for elate that I've seen before include "Encourage" , "Exhilarate, put in high spirits" , "Overjoy" , "transport?" , "Bring joy" .)
