Spaces I'm adapting to provide some fun (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

escapism

'some fun' is the definition.
(escapism is fun or diverting)

'spaces i'm adapting' is the wordplay.
'adapting' is an anagram indicator.
'spaces'+'im'='spacesim'
'spacesim' anagrammed gives 'ESCAPISM'.

'to provide' is the link.

(Other definitions for escapism that I've seen before include "break from reality" , "Preferring fantasy to the realities of life" , "Avoiding life's realities by indulging in fantasies" , "Tendency to flee reality" , "Sim space (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
