Act like a magnet (7)

I believe the answer is:

attract

(Other definitions for attract that I've seen before include "To be liable to" , "Draw towards like a magnet" , "Draw towards one, as magnet does metal" , "Exert a pull upon" , "Behave like a magnet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
