See hunt abandoned -- wax lyrical? (7)
I believe the answer is:
enthuse
'wax lyrical?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'see hunt abandoned' is the wordplay.
'abandoned' indicates anagramming the letters.
'see'+'hunt'='seehunt'
'seehunt' anagrammed gives 'ENTHUSE'.
(Other definitions for enthuse that I've seen before include "Show great interest" , "Express eager enjoyment, interest or approval" , "Show passionate zeal (about something)" , "Show eagerness" , "Show eager interest and liking" .)
