Laze about to show enthusiasm? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zeal

'enthusiasm?' is the definition.
(I know that ardour is a type of eagerness)

'laze about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'laze' is an anagram of 'ZEAL'.

'to show' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for zeal that I've seen before include "(Excessive) fervour" , "Eagerness and devotion" , "Interest that's definitely not diminished" , "6 [ENTHUSIASM]" , "Zing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
