Crossword Genius

A little more sultry, as a consequence (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

result

'a consequence' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a little more sultry as' is the wordplay.
'a little' indicates a hidden word (a little bit of the clue).
'RESULT' can be found hidden inside 'more sultry as'.

(Other definitions for result that I've seen before include "End - issue" , "'Outcome, upshot (6)'" , "Ulster (anag) - outcome" , "Verdict" , "Consequence in Ulster (6)" .)
