Crossword Genius

Attracted by the pale and haggard (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drawn

This clue is a triple definition!

'attracted' is the first definition.
('draw' can be a synonym of 'attract')

'by' is a link.

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

'and' acts as a link.

'haggard' is the third definition.
(I know that haggard can be written as drawn)

(Other definitions for drawn that I've seen before include "stressed" , "Represented as" , "tense" , "Tense-looking; tied" , "It was a tie" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
