Transported in a broken-down trap (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rapt

'transported' is the definition.
(both can mean enchanted or fascinated)

'a broken-down trap' is the wordplay.
'a broken down' is an anagram indicator.
'trap' with letters rearranged gives 'RAPT'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rapt that I've seen before include "Enraptured, entranced" , "Delighted" , "Enthralled, captivated" , "Fully absorbed" , "riveted" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
