Sensational types in Love/Hate (8)
I believe the answer is:
emotions
'sensational types' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emotions that I've seen before include "Intense mental feelings, like love or hate" , "instinctive feelings" , "Passions" , "Strong feelings" , "Feelings provoked by noise, Tom" .)
