Crossword Genius

Attractive reduction at end of sale (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cute

'attractive' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'reduction at end of sale' is the wordplay.
'reduction' becomes 'cut' (cut is a kind of reduction).
'at end of' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'sale' is 'e'.
'cut'+'e'='CUTE'

(Other definitions for cute that I've seen before include "Pretty and attractive" , "Daintily pretty" , "Lovable" , "Small, delightful" , "Clever - attractive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
