wooed

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

'eagerly sought' is the definition.
'wooed' can be an answer for 'sought' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'eagerly' bit.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wooed that I've seen before include "Sought the love of" , "Courted" , "Pursued" .)
