Very interested, as a parent, in the recreation (6)
I believe the answer is:
enrapt
'very' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'interested as a parent in the recreation' is the wordplay.
'parent' can be anagrammed to 'ENRAPT'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram 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" .)
