Rock and roller after work briefly proved alluring (7)
I believe the answer is:
tempted
'alluring' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs can sometimes mean the same thing.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tempted that I've seen before include "Invited" , "captivated" , "Drawn to" , "Tried to seduce" , "Seduced" .)
