Fervid Therapy gig PR arranged (7-5)

I believe the answer is:

trigger-happy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fervid' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'therapy gig pr arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates an anagram.
'therapy'+'gig'+'pr'='therapygigpr'
'therapygigpr' with letters rearranged gives 'TRIGGER-HAPPY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trigger-happy that I've seen before include "Over-ready to shoot" , "Over-enthusiastic with a gun" , "Quick to use a gun" , "inclined to recklessness" , "Irresponsible with firearms" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
