'emotionally excited' is the definition.
'moved' can be an answer for 'excited' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'emotionally' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moved that I've seen before include "Budged" , "Touched" , "Shifted" , "proposed" , "Joyfully tearful," .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
