Baby girl due, first half of November chaotic (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overindulge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'baby' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'girl due first half of november chaotic' is the wordplay.
'first half of' means to take half the letters.
'chaotic' indicates an anagram.
'november' halved is 'nove'.
'girl'+'due'+'nove'='girlduenove'
'girlduenove' anagrammed gives 'OVERINDULGE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overindulge that I've seen before include "Take to excess" , "Drink excessively" , "Spoil through lavish treatment" , "pig" , "take things too far" .)
