Romantically inspired, ludicrous act (5)
I believe the answer is:
antic
'ludicrous act' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'romantically inspired' is the wordplay.
'ANTIC' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for antic that I've seen before include "Old clown" , "Mad act done for fun" , "seen to be bizarre, at one time" , "Absurd act" , "Playful or mischievous act" .)
