'transported' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs sometimes define each other.

'stick around outside public house or i' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'cue' (I've seen this before).
'around' says the letters should be written backwards.
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go outside others).
'public house' becomes 'ph' (abbreviation).
'cue' written backwards gives 'euc'.
'ph'+'or'+'i'='phori'
'euc' going around 'phori' is 'EUPHORIC'.

'can be' is the link.
