Strongly desire extravagant praise (6)
I believe the answer is:
aspire
'strongly desire' is the definition.
'aspire' can be an answer for 'desire' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'strongly' bit.
'extravagant praise' is the wordplay.
'extravagant' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'praise' is an anagram of 'ASPIRE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aspire that I've seen before include "Aim at, work towards" , "Seek (to do something)" , "Have an ambitious plan or a lofty goal" , "Aim at high things" , "Have a strong desire to reach an objective" .)
