Very interested, as a parent, in the recreation (6)
I believe the answer is:
enrapt
'very' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'interested as a parent in the recreation' is the wordplay.
'parent' can be anagrammed to 'ENRAPT'.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enrapt that I've seen before include "Spellbound" , "state of ecstasy" , "Deeply absorbed in something" , "Turned on" , "Sent" .)
