Second person originally getting loan I had found to be wonderful (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

splendid

'to be wonderful' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'second person originally getting loan i had' is the wordplay.
'originally' says to take the initial letters.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'loan' becomes 'lend' (synonyms).
'i had' becomes 'i'd' (contraction).
The initial letters of 'second person' is 'sp'.
'sp'+'lend'+'id'='SPLENDID'

'found' is the link.

(Other definitions for splendid that I've seen before include "Very fine, glorious" , "Superb" , "Characterised by grandeur" , "Excellent, first-class" , "Magnificent, brilliant" .)
