Like worshippers having bother with phone (7)

I believe the answer is:

adoring

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

'like worshippers having' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'bother with phone' is the wordplay.
'bother' becomes 'ado' (both can mean fuss or commotion).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'phone' becomes 'ring' (to ring on the phone).
'ado'+'ring'='ADORING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adoring that I've seen before include "Worshipping the loved one" , "Passionate" , "Loving deeply" , "Being very fond of" , "Greatly loving" .)
