A crafty offer? (6)

I believe the answer is:

tender

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'offer?' is the definition.
(tender can mean to offer something)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for tender that I've seen before include "Offer; ferry boat" , "easily damaged" , "Not hardy (but it may be legal)" , "requiring careful handling" , "Compassionate - sore" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
