Think it divine to read excitedly about love (5)

I believe the answer is:

adore

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

'think it divine' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'read excitedly about love' is the wordplay.
'excitedly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters excited or stimulated into a new form).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'read' with letters rearranged gives 'adre'.
'adre' enclosing 'o' is 'ADORE'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adore that I've seen before include "Love, worship" , "Love greatly" , "Cherish" , "Worship, venerate" , "Like a lot" .)
