Attractive quarry, dry inside (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pretty

'attractive' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'quarry dry inside' is the wordplay.
'quarry' becomes 'prey' ('prey' can be a synonym of 'quarry').
'dry' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation for teetotal).
'inside' is an insertion indicator.
'prey' enclosing 'tt' is 'PRETTY'.

(Other definitions for pretty that I've seen before include "Facially attractive" , "Daintily good-looking, maybe as a picture" , "See 19" , "Fairly; attractive" , "Lovely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
