Starting to develop article about fragrance (7)
I believe the answer is:
nascent
'starting to develop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'article about fragrance' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'fragrance' becomes 'scent' (synonyms).
'an' backwards is 'na'.
'na'+'scent'='NASCENT'
(Other definitions for nascent that I've seen before include "being developed" , "not yet mature" , "Budding early" , "Dawning" , "awakening" .)
