Present I mentioned was packed with emotion (9)
I believe the answer is:
sentiment
'emotion' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'present i mentioned was packed' is the wordplay.
'SENTIMENT' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sentiment that I've seen before include "Emotional feeling" , "Test men in, say, emotion" , "Slush" , "Emotional thought" , "Mawkishness" .)
