Bust itches -- aunt is warm (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enthusiastic

'warm' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bust itches aunt is' is the wordplay.
'bust' indicates anagramming the letters.
'itches'+'aunt'+'is'='itchesauntis'
'itchesauntis' with letters rearranged gives 'ENTHUSIASTIC'.

(Other definitions for enthusiastic that I've seen before include "Eager" , "Gung-ho" , "Ardent, zealous" , "hot" , "Highly keen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
