Very much liked to make a fuss with Communist following (6)
I believe the answer is:
adored
'very much liked' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with human feelings as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'a fuss with communist following' is the wordplay.
'a fuss' becomes 'ado' (synonyms).
'with communist' becomes 'red' (red can informally mean communist. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ado'+'red'='ADORED'
'to make' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adored that I've seen before include "Loved enormously" , "Worshipped and revered" , "hugely popular" , "Loved deeply" , "Loved dearly" .)
