Brings one's attention to flaw from Fats Waller (6)
I believe the answer is:
alerts
'brings' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't see how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alerts that I've seen before include "Puts on guard, warns about impending danger" , "Warns, draws attention to" , "Puts on guard, forewarns" , "Alarms, warning signals" , "Warnings" .)
