Reckon caught in it, one's hooked (6)

I believe the answer is:

addict

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

'one's hooked' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'reckon caught in it' is the wordplay.
'reckon' becomes 'add' (reckon can mean to calculate).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'c' put inside 'it' is 'ict'.
'add'+'ict'='ADDICT'

Can you help me to learn more?
