Was guide around ancient city enticed? (5)
I believe the answer is:
lured
'enticed?' is the definition.
('lure' can be a synonym of 'entice')
'was guide around ancient city' is the wordplay.
'was guide' becomes 'led' (lead can mean to be someone's guide).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'ancient city' becomes 'ur' (ancient Sumerian city state).
'led' enclosing 'ur' is 'LURED'.
(Other definitions for lured that I've seen before include "Tempted or enticed" , "Seduced" , "Attracted" , "was enticing" .)
