'strong feeling' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'palm off about one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'about' could be 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic) and 'on' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'pass' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' acts as a link.
