Definition: "wonderful"
This is a charade - multiple separate components are joined together in sequence to build the final answer.
Break this into four parts: an exclamation meaning 'how lovely', most of the word 'cute', a short word meaning 'it follows', and how the setter refers to themselves. Join them in order.
Answer: AWESOME | AW (how lovely!) + E (from 'cute' - at last/final letter) + SO (it follows) + ME (the setter) = AWESOME
