Loves to make an entry, by the sound of it, with head of state (6)
I believe the answer is:
adores
'loves' is the definition.
(adoring is a kind of loving)
'an entry by the sound of it with head of state' is the wordplay.
'entry' indicates taking the first letters.
'by the sound of it' becomes 'dore' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with head of' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'an' is 'a'.
The first letter of 'state' is 's'.
'a'+'dore'+'s'='ADORES'
'to make' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adores that I've seen before include "Worships, venerates" , "Worships as divine" , "is lover" , "Loves deeply, worships" , "Soared (anag.)" .)
