Sue then organised stir (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enthuse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stir' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'sue then organised' is the wordplay.
'organised' indicates an anagram.
'sue'+'then'='suethen'
'suethen' with letters rearranged gives 'ENTHUSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enthuse that I've seen before include "Cheer" , "Show feeling of eager liking and approval" , "Appear keenly interested" , "Show strong approval" , "Seen hut? (anag) - show a lively interest" .)
