could be avid or keen or maybe agog (has got an "O" in it)
Are you sure "appropriate" is - ahem - the appropriate answer?

Hi Trevor
The clue for \"appropriate\" is \"proper;take\". I think \"agog\" may be correct, it\'s the last clue to complete! Could it be?

Appropriate seems spot on, if agog fits it is probably right.

agog
–adjective
1. highly excited by eagerness, curiosity, anticipation, etc.
–adverb
2. in a state of eager desire; excitedly.

Frightened to try it in case I get to like it!
