I read the clue as saying: You can take the letters of ‘Youth turns’ and rearrange them to make the answer, which is a word meaning ‘besotted’, plus ‘hours’.

I can’t see how you could think that the clue works with ‘crazy’ as the definition (Why would the definition appear at that point in the clue?) and with ‘besotted’ as an anagram indicator (Why would an anagram indicator appear at that point in the clue?).

Not entirely convinced but could the definition be ‘crazy’ and ‘besotted’ is the sole anagram indicator.
I think nutty for crazy is much more direct than nutty for besotted.

It did take me a while to realise exactly how 10d works.

My interpretation of 3d was that ‘besotted’ is the definition (besotted=infatuated, nutty=foolishly amorous).
