Right way to express enthusiasm (4)

I believe the answer is:

rave

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

'express enthusiasm' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'right way' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'way' becomes 'ave' (abbreviation for avenue, a type of 'way').
'r'+'ave'='RAVE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rave that I've seen before include "Talk wildly, rant" , "Rant - noisy, all-night party" , "Party with electronic dance music - be wild" , "Laudatory sort of review - quite a rant" , "modern dance music" .)
