Transported in a trap perhaps (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rapt

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

'trap perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'trap' anagrammed gives 'RAPT'.

'in a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rapt that I've seen before include "riveted" , "Part of being intent and absorbed" , "Spellbound in part" , "Enchanted in part" , "Fully intent, fascinated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
