Totally cool ewe Amos trained (7)

I believe the answer is:

awesome

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

'totally cool' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'ewe amos trained' is the wordplay.
'trained' is an anagram indicator (to train can mean to grow something into a shape).
'ewe'+'amos'='eweamos'
'eweamos' with letters rearranged gives 'AWESOME'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for awesome that I've seen before include "Magnificent, causing fear or wonder" , "Shocking" , "Inspiring reverential fear" , "Dreadful; amazing" , "Extraordinary" .)
