At about ten, very cold, was tempted to (7)
I believe the answer is:
enticed
'tempted to' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'at about ten very cold' is the wordplay.
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'very cold' becomes 'iced' (I've seen this before).
'ten' anagrammed gives 'ent'.
'ent' put next to 'iced' is 'ENTICED'.
'was' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enticed that I've seen before include "were seductive" , "Given inducement" , "Tempted, lured" , "Persuaded with attractive offer" .)
