Crossword Genius

Morning employed in being entertained (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amused

'being entertained' is the definition.
('amused' can be a synonym of 'entertained')

'morning employed' is the wordplay.
'morning' becomes 'am'.
'employed' becomes 'used' ('use' can be a synonym of 'employ').
'am'+'used'='AMUSED'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for amused that I've seen before include "Mildly entertained by Medusa" , "happily occupied" , "Medusa (anag)" , "Pleasantly occupied" , "Tickled pink" .)
