Distractedly dream about one to worship (6)
I believe the answer is:
admire
'worship' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'distractedly dream about one' is the wordplay.
'distractedly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'dream' is an anagram of 'admre'.
'admre' going around 'i' is 'ADMIRE'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for admire that I've seen before include "Hold in high regard" , "Esteem, look up to" , "Esteem, have high regard for" , "put on a pedestal" , "Idolise" .)
