Put into bonds on account of great interest? (7)
I believe the answer is:
enthral
This clue might be a double definition.
'put' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'bonds on account of great interest?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with human feelings as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'into' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enthral that I've seen before include "give a spell-binding performance" , "Bewitch" , "Captivate" , "Totally fascinate" , "Fascinate - grip" .)
