Tale about getting kiss in acclaim (5)
I believe the answer is:
exalt
'acclaim' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'tale about getting kiss' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'getting' indicates putting letters inside.
'kiss' becomes 'x' (X can represent a kiss).
'tale' is an anagram of 'ealt'.
'ealt' enclosing 'x' is 'EXALT'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for exalt that I've seen before include "Raise high, glorify" , "Uplift in praise" , "delight" , "Honour - raise up" , "Laud" .)
