Eager to change a trend (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ardent

'eager' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'change a trend' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'trend'='atrend'
'atrend' with letters rearranged gives 'ARDENT'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ardent that I've seen before include "'Fervent, impassioned (6)'" , "Having great warmth of feeling like a lover" , "Burning, passionate" , "Fervid" , "full of zeal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
