The morning service can be far from boring (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amuse

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

'be far from boring' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'the morning service' is the wordplay.
'the morning' becomes 'am' (as in 12:00 AM).
'service' becomes 'use' (to be of service is to be of use).
'am'+'use'='AMUSE'

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amuse that I've seen before include "Beguile" , "Enliven" , "Make (someone) laugh" , "Pleasantly occupy" , "Recreate" .)
