Read dictionary, including word for enthusiast (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

addict

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

'for enthusiast' is the definition.
(addict is a kind of enthusiast)

'read dictionary including' is the wordplay.
'including' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ADDICT' can be found hidden inside 'read dictionary'.

'word' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for addict that I've seen before include "Habitual drug user" , "Devotee: user" , "Overly-dependent person" , "Fanatic devotee" , "One is dependent on a substance" .)
