Alluring sorcery hiding trap (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

magnetic

'alluring' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'sorcery hiding trap' is the wordplay.
'sorcery' becomes 'magic' (I've seen this before).
'hiding' indicates putting letters inside.
'trap' becomes 'net' (net is a type of trap).
'magic' enclosing 'net' is 'MAGNETIC'.

(Other definitions for magnetic that I've seen before include "Having the property of attracting iron" , "Having the power to attract" , "Able to attract metal, or charismatic" , "Very attractive or alluring" , "Drawing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
