Measure right to capture, decapitate and transport (9)
I believe the answer is:
enrapture
'transport' is the definition.
(I know that transport can be written as enrapture)
'measure right to capture decapitate' is the wordplay.
'measure' becomes 'en' (typographical measure).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'decapitate' means to remove the first letter (I've seen 'decapitating' mean this).
'capture' with its initial letter taken away is 'apture'.
'en'+'r'+'apture'='ENRAPTURE'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for enrapture that I've seen before include "Give intense pleasure to" , "Transport" , "Ape Turner (anag.)" , "Give delight to" , "Bewitch" .)
