A gentle eccentric, dignified and graceful (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elegant

'dignified and graceful' is the definition.
(both can mean elegant)

'a gentle eccentric' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'gentle'='agentle'
'agentle' with letters rearranged gives 'ELEGANT'.

(Other definitions for elegant that I've seen before include "Modish" , "Graceful - refined" , "Well-turned" , "luxurious style?" , "A gentle sort of stylish appearance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
